Exclusive: Pentagon ramps up planning of possible military ops in Cuba
WASHINGTON — Military planning for a possible Pentagon-led operation in Cuba is quietly ramping up, in case
President Donald Trump gives an order to intervene there, USA TODAY has learned.
Two sources familiar with the order spoke to USA TODAY on condition of anonymity because they're not authorized to speak to media.
The directives
appear to be an escalation of recent
tensions between the U.S. and Cuba that
began in January when the Trump administration curbed oil shipments to Cuba as part of a broader campaign to force sweeping political changes on the communist-run island.
