CBS News reports that the US Army is considering deploying medical, logistics, and military police units as part of potential plans for action in Cuba, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS and statements from unnamed officials. The Pentagon is preparing these forces within 90 to 120 days but has not issued any deployment orders yet. This follows recent tensions and rhetoric between the US and Cuba, with President Trump referring to Cuba as a "failed state" while Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denies that Cuba poses any threat to U.S. security or justifies military action against it.
