US President Donald Trump reposted a social media suggestion that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents were Cuban immigrants, could become the next president of Cuba, stating "Sounds good to me." This comment, made on Truth Social, is not an official US policy. Trump also reiterated warnings to Cuba to "make a deal" and cease receiving oil and money from Venezuela, following a US military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez responded by asserting Cuba's position and criticizing the US as a "criminal hegemon."
