Rubio Makes It Clear Trump’s Next Hemispheric Move Is Against Cuba

President Trump seems determined during his last term in office to ‘fix’ a lot of what’s been broken regarding U.S. domestic and foreign policy. No one has been more valuable to him regarding the latter than his choice for secretary of state, Marco Rubio. He moves in those circles with aplomb and skill. To say he knows what he’s doing is an understatement. As such, he’s been an invaluable figure regarding Trump’s efforts around the world, but especially in our hemisphere. That includes helping the president implement “The Donroe Doctrine” – a laser-like focus on The Americas, including Cuba, where Rubio’s family hails from.

The secretary of state and former Florida senator made a move this past week that appears to signal Trump’s intent to bring the communist regime ruling Cuba to heel after nearly 70 years in power: Rubio said Lastres Morera will remain in the custody of U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending deportation proceedings after he determined she was removable under U. According to Rubio and ICE officials, Lastres Morera entered the United States as a lawful permanent resident on Jan. 13, 2023, during the administration of Joe Biden.
