President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that the United States may soon turn its attention toward Cuba, signaling a potential expansion of Washington's interventionist strategy in Latin America.

Fresh off the announcement of a military operation to depose Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, the President indicated that Cuba is now a "topic of discussion." While he did not outline specific military or diplomatic actions, the comments suggest the administration is leveraging the momentum from the Venezuela operation to pressure other regional adversaries.

The statement underscores a significant pivot toward a more aggressive "America First" posture in the Western Hemisphere, as the U.S. moves to dismantle long-standing socialist alliances in the region.
