Something Is Coming in Cuba

Playbook: “It’s not just domestic policy where Trump is handing Dems an open goal, with the president showing no sign of stepping back from his foreign affairs obsession. It’s pretty clear now that something big is coming on Cuba — you don’t send the CIA director to Havana and then indict a country’s 94-year-old figurehead on a whim.”

“Trump has been telling us all year that Cuba is on his intervention list, and we’re now at the point where Secretary of State Marco Rubio is addressing the Cuban public directly in Spanish.”

However: “The idea of military intervention is not popular with the American public. A recent YouGov/CEPR poll found 64 percent of Americans oppose the U.S. going to war against Cuba. Only 15 percent were in support.”
