US commander meets with Cuban military officials as Trump pressures island nation

The top U.S. commander in Latin America met with Cuban military officials near Guantanamo Bay to discuss operational security matters as the Trump administration intensifies pressure on Cuba through sanctions, an oil blockade, and military presence in the Caribbean. The meeting followed Trump's assertion that Cuba 'is next' after the Maduro raid and involved discussions about security along the U.S. military enclave's perimeter.
