Cuba's Strategic Threat to U.S. Security | US News
Description
Ambassador Mike Waltz has labeled Cuba a direct national security threat, citing its proximity to Florida and its role as a hub for Chinese and Russian intelligence operations targeting U.S. military bases. The current administration, echoing President Trump’s stance, insists on economic and security engagement only if Cuba reforms — a message delivered by the CIA director earlier this year. Waltz contrasts Cuba’s growing vulnerability with declining U.S. adversary influence in Venezuela and Central America, framing the shift as a strategic win. Cuban President Diaz-Canel warns of a bloody U.S. military intervention, while Iran’s alleged drone shipments to Cuba add another layer of tension — underscoring Washington’s hardline push to reshape the region and protect American interests.
