State Department says relations between Russia and Cuba pose 'direct threat' to US

The US administration claims that the relations between Russia and Cuba pose a "direct threat" to the security of the United States. "Cuba and Russia still maintain strong economic and political ties, which have only deepened amid rising US-Cuba tensions. Finally, the US Department of State says that Cuba has recruited and cultivated generations of American activists." On February 27, he said that the United States may establish control over Cuba. Politico reported on May 18 that the US government is increasingly leaning toward the use of military force against Cuba.
