Rep. Carlos Gimenez has urged the Trump administration to adopt a “zero tolerance and total pressure” approach toward Cuba, citing severe shortages of power, food, and medicine on the island. He described the current Cuban government as having devastated the country and emphasized that it is time for a change in leadership.
Gimenez also warned that the Cuban regime might attempt to mislead the United States in response to increased pressure. His comments reflect growing concerns about the humanitarian situation and the effectiveness of existing US policies toward Cuba.
**Why this matters**
The call for intensified US pressure on Cuba highlights ongoing tensions between the two countries and the challenges faced by the Cuban population. Understanding these dynamics is important for evaluating US foreign policy and its impact on regional stability and human rights in Cuba.
