Trump Bets His Venezuela Playbook Will Work in Cuba

Wall Street Journal: “With the murder indictment of Cuban leader Raúl Castro, President Trump is applying the playbook he used to upend Venezuela’s leadership to force Havana’s Communist government into submission.”

“Trump has pointed to Venezuela as a model for wielding power in America’s backyard after the U.S. military blasted through the defenses around its leader Nicolás Maduro and arrested him on drug-trafficking charges. Maduro’s successor, his Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, has delivered on U.S. demands, a scenario Trump has implied could be replicated in Cuba.”
