[U.S. Media Claims Likelihood of U.S. 'Military Action' Against Cuba Increasing] According to a report by Jinse Finance, the U.S. website Politico published an article on the 18th stating that, as U.S. pressure tactics against Cuba have not been effective, the U.S. is now considering military options more seriously than before. The report, citing U.S. officials and informed sources, noted that U.S. President Trump is feeling 'frustrated' with the U.S.'s pressure campaign against Cuba. 'The U.S. initially believed that actions in Venezuela and a series of sanctions against Cuba would intimidate Cuba and force them to reach an agreement. But now, with the situation in Iran spiraling out of control, the Cubans have proven to be much tougher than initially expected, putting the military action option on the table.' (Xinhua News Agency)
