"US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is again taking aim at Cuba. This time,
however, the Trump administration is framing Havana as a decades-long sponsor
of terrorism and espionage that has helped cultivate the “radical left” in the
United States.

As part of this, the administration is making pains to link Cuba with the
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is growing politically in the US,
thanks to Zohran Mamdani’s win as New York City mayor and other victories.

And it comes against the backdrop of fear-mongering by US President Donald
Trump about the prospect of communism threatening the US again. He has
specifically linked Democrats to communism, as well.

So, why is the Trump administration making this spurious argument, and why
now?"
