For US Secretary of State Rubio, Cuba Policy Is More than Foreign Affairs — It’s Personal
Rubio is steering a maximum-pressure campaign that targets Cuban military and political leaders, while the State Department says GAESA controls up to 70% of the economy.
- On July 23, Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended the ASEAN Regional Forum in Manila, continuing to drive the United States' 'maximum pressure' policy against Cuba's leadership.
- As the son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio is seen as the chief architect of the policy, deeply influenced by his roots in South Florida's Cuban diaspora.
- The United States enacted new sanctions targeting GAESA, Cuba's military conglomerate controlling up to 70 percent of the economy, and indicted former president Raul Castro in a case dating to 1996.
- Describing the regime as a 'disaster,' Rubio criticized the government's 'disastrous mismanagement' last week during a trip to the Philippines and called on Cubans to choose a new path.
- Officials refrain from setting a public transition timeline as the United States seeks regime change without chaos, with tensions heightened following the ouster of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in January.
