Trump suggests U.S. warships ‘do a little stopover’ in Cuba after Iran war, while Rubio pushes Cubans toward a ‘discrete partnership with the CIA’

President Donald Trump has suggested that U.S. warships returning from the Middle East could make a stop in Cuba after the Iran war, introducing a new element to his approach toward the nearby country.

Trump raises possibility at South Florida rally

Trump made the comment Friday while speaking at a rally for candidates in South Florida. He said the vessels could stop over in Cuba on their way back from the Middle East.

The remarks are notable because they point toward an interventionist approach to Cuba. However, the source does not provide details on which ships might be involved, when a stopover could occur or whether any formal plan exists.

What is known

The proposal was presented as a possibility rather than a confirmed military movement. The comments link the potential stop in Cuba to U.S. warships returning from the Iran war, but no further operational details were provided.

For now, Trump’s statement signals interest in a more active posture toward Cuba while leaving the practical scope and timing of any action unclear.
