DOMINANT ANGLE
Trump threatens to take Cuba after Iran — escalation alarms Latin America
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
MercoPress treats Trump's statements about taking control of Cuba as serious rhetorical escalation. After the operation against Maduro in Venezuela in January 2026, Trump proved he is ready to move from rhetoric to action in the region. MercoPress notes Trump explicitly linked taking Cuba to his return from Iran, suggesting a strategic vision in which the Americas form part of a project to reorganize global American influence. Milei's Argentina, which has aligned with Washington, finds itself in a delicate position: officially supporting US positions while preserving neighborhood relations with Central America and the Caribbean.
