‘This is his legacy’: Marco Rubio nears goal of toppling Cuba’s government
رجوعUS secretary of state’s campaign of ‘maximum pressure’ is culmination of a personal pursuit spanning decades
• Cubans outraged at US charges against Raúl Castro
Marco Rubio’s moment has finally arrived. The outcome of the Trump administration’s efforts to exert “maximum pressure” on Cuba may topple the 67-year-old communist government in Havana and direct the future of the US’s sway over the western hemisphere.
For Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants who serves as both secretary of state and national security adviser, the US campaign marks his ascendancy in an administration where he has established himself as a trusted aide to Donald Trump and manoeuvred that position to advance a key goal: Washington’s right to assert its authority across Latin America.
