Trump threatens to seize Cuba and sends the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln to its coast
US President Donald Trump has announced the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Cuban coast, in an unprecedented escalation that culminates in the threat to "take Cuba almost immediately." The decision comes hours after Washington tightened sanctions against Castro regime leaders, and in response to the "revolutionary demonstration on Havana's malecón," according to official sources.
The White House plan calls for positioning the vessel just 100 meters off the Cuban coast once military operations in Iran conclude. The move, which some analysts consider a bluff, adds to a pressure strategy that began early this year. Meanwhile, social media is rife with speculation about a possible wave of Cuban rafters and doubts about the Cuban armed forces' ability to respond, whose military equipment "is becoming outdated," according to unconfirmed sources. The open question is whether the naval deployment will be the prelude to a military intervention or part of a forced negotiation strategy.
What seems certain is that the standoff between Washington and Havana has entered an openly hostile phase, with no official response yet from the Castro regime.
