“Other presidents have looked at doing something for 50, 60 years, and it looks like I’ll be the one that does it,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.
The Trump administration put the island nation back in the news on Wednesday when the Justice Department indicted Raul Castro and five others on charges related to the shootdown of two Miami-based rescue planes in 1996, killing four people, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a message to Cubans, in Spanish, marking Cuban Independence Day and ripping the island’s leadership for its treatment of its people.
Rubio declined to rule out military action to bring about regime change, similar to what the administration did in Venezuela.
“The president always has the option to do whatever it takes to support and protect the national security of the United States,” he said.
