Trump actively considering ‘another abduction operation’ against world leader: insiders
Despite being entangled in the ongoing U.S. war against Iran, President Donald Trump is actively considering an operation to abduct another world leader, much like his administration had in January with the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, three insiders revealed to Zeteo in its report Tuesday.
“In recent days, according to two sources familiar with the situation and another person briefed on it, officials at the Pentagon and elsewhere in the US government were quietly given a new directive that came straight from the Trump White House,” Zeteo’s report reads. “The message: ramp up your preparations for possible military operations against Cuba.”
The Trump administration is currently starving Cuba of resources with crippling sanctions that have shuttered hospitals and made food scarce. However, according to the three inside sources who spoke with Zeteo, the White House is considering accelerating its attempt to topple the Cuban government with a major military operation.
“It appears that Trump has not made a final decision yet on military action, and negotiations to end Trump’s ‘economic bombing’ of the island’s civilian population are ongoing,” Zeteo’s report reads.
“If Trump doesn’t get what he wants, Zeteo is told that one option that has been discussed within the Trump administration is for the US military to conduct another abduction operation against some of the Cuban leadership, similar to its kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela early this year."
According to two of the insiders, Trump has grown “increasingly frustrated,” Zeteo reported, with “the open defiance from the Cuban government.” On Monday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel told NBC News that he and his fellow Cubans would “die” defending the Caribbean nation.
“An invasion to Cuba would have costs. ... It would affect the security of Cuba, the United States and of the region,” Díaz-Canel said. “If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, ‘Dying for the homeland is to live.’”
