Marco Rubio warns Cuban authorities. “A Failing Country”
On Saturday, the Secretary of State, the son of Cuban refugees, together with US President Donald Trump, warned the Cuban authorities allied with Venezuela. Rubio said that if he were in the shoes of the Maduro-friendly regime in Cuba, “he would be concerned, to say the least.” Trump said Cuba is “not doing very well” and the Cuban people have been suffering for years.
