Rubio begins talks with Caribbean leaders amid Cuba worries

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in the Caribbean on Wednesday to begin talks with regional leaders. They are warning that a worsening humanitarian crisis in Cuba could destabilize the region.

The discussions focus on Cuba’s deteriorating conditions, including shortages and economic strain, and potential spillover effects for neighboring countries.

Regional officials urge coordinated humanitarian and diplomatic responses to prevent broader instability stemming from Cuba’s crisis.
