The Pentagon is developing contingency options for possible U.S. military action
against Cuba as President Donald Trump intensifies pressure on the island,
according to USA Today. Discussions remain preliminary and no final decision has
been made. The planning reflects a broader escalation in Washington’s posture
toward Havana, following economic sanctions and energy restrictions that have
deepened Cuba’s crisis. Officials indicate preparations are part of standard
defense planning, though they align with Trump’s increasingly assertive rhetoric
signaling potential further action against the Cuban government.
