The US renewed threats of possible action against Cuba on Thursday, signaling a focus on changing the Caribbean island's communist system.
Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighed in on the issue.
Trump told reporters that past US presidents had considered intervening in Cuba but "it looks like I'll be the one that does it."
Trump, however, denied that the deployment of the USS Nimitz and its escort warships to the Caribbean for maritime exercises was intended to intimidate Cuba.Why doesn't Rubio see a negotiated settlement?
Toeing the same line, Rubio said Washington preferred a diplomatic solution but warned the chances of a negotiated settlement with Cuba's communist government were "not high."
