Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on a high-stakes tour, visiting U.S. troops in Tampa and then heading to Guantanamo Bay amid escalating tensions with Cuba. As Cuba grapples with crippling blackouts, food shortages, and blocked energy shipments, Washington is sounding the alarm — U.S. intelligence reports Havana may be stockpiling Russian and Iranian drones. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warns any U.S. military action could ignite war. With President Trump framing Cuba as a top foreign policy priority and hinting at drastic measures, the Pentagon remains tight-lipped on Hegseth’s full agenda — but the message is clear: the U.S. is watching closely and prepared to act.
