Trump administration escalates pressure on Cuba including indictment of former leader Raúl Castro and military posturing
The Trump administration has intensified confrontation with Cuba through multiple measures: an oil blockade, sanctions, and an unprecedented indictment of former president Raúl Castro on murder charges. U.S. military has increased surveillance activity and publicly broadcast aircraft locations near Cuba. Cuban officials characterize these actions as pretexts for regime change, while analysts debate whether military intervention is imminent and how Cuba might respond.
