The island was recently elevated to “Priority 1” intelligence status, putting it on par with Russia, Iran and China. The task force’s activities could shape future U.S. military options against Cuba, should Trump choose that path. The move coincides with other, public-facing U.S. efforts to tighten the pressure on Havana.
