Sen. Lindsey Graham ratcheted up U.S. pressure on Cuba this weekend by echoing President Donald Trump’s ominous ultimatum — urging the Caribbean nation to “make a deal” or risk dire consequences following the U.S. military’s dramatic capture of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Graham’s hard-line rhetoric, warning Cuba’s communist regime that its “days are numbered” and implying its leaders should relocate, mirrors the threats lobbed at Caracas just before the unprecedented U.S. attack and takeover, signaling a broader escalation of aggressive U.S. foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere and raising fears of new interventionist aims toward Havana.
