https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/10/americas/us-spy-flights-cuba-latam-intl…The flights are notable not only for their proximity to the coast, which puts them well within range of gathering intelligence, but for the suddenness of their appearance–prior to Feb, such publicly visible flights were exceedingly rare in this area–& for their timing.
Trump’s public comments against #Cuba hardened in the weeks just before the surge, he reposted on Truth Social a comment by FoxNews contributor Marc Thiessen that #Trump would visit a “free Havana” before leaving office.

Just a few days after that post, #Trump ordered an #oil #blockade of the island.
Fast forward to today & Trump is imposing an expanded #sanctions regime on #Cuba & insisting it represents a “threat” to #US #NationalSecurity. (Cuban officials meanwhile have dismissed the suggestion their communist-run government poses any danger to the US. They insist they are open to negotiations, though have also vowed to conduct an extended guerrilla war against US forces if attacked.)
