Story summary

President Donald Trump told a rally for candidates in Fort Myers, Florida, on October 23, 2026, that U.S. warships returning from the Iran conflict could make a stopover near Cuba. This came after a question about the island nation was shouted by someone in the crowd. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Cubans to partner with the CIA to seek political change through "discreet" means shortly after Trump's comments. The U.S. has maintained an embargo on Cuba for over 60 years and recently imposed a blockade that has led to fuel shortages and power outages in Cuba, intensifying pressure from Washington.
