On March 13th in 2026, even as the Ukraine-Russia War and the US-Iran War rage on, the blazing headlines above still herald the fact that U. S. plans to finally and drastically transform Cuba's endlessly embargoed and blockaded revolutionary government continues high up on the agenda of the United States government. The quagmires in Ukraine and Iran have postponed those plans but only briefly.
And the billionaire Trump envisions a rich Cuba.
As shaped by Miami Cubans.
The U. S. President Donald Trump confirms that his powerful Miami-born Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio is making time to even talk with Cuban officials in Cuba before He {Rubio} decides how to reshape Cuba. Most observers believe that Rubio envisions a Cuba dominated by massive Miami and U. S. businesses -- just like it was dominated by major U. S. companies back in the 1950s when the US-backed/Mafia-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista ruled Cuba till he was overthrown by Fidel Castro's historic Cuban Revolution on January 1st in 1959.
While Cubans in Miami since 1959 have dictated the USA's Cuban policies and narratives, the truth is...back in the 1950s while dictator Batista, the Mafia, and the rich U. S. companies were raking in massive fortunes in Cuba, they simply failed to even toss a few crumbs to non-Batistiano mothers and children. That spawned Castro's Revolution that promised free food, free educations through college, and decent homes for all of the Cuban citizens. The photo above shows a totally neglected Cuban mother/grandmother who supported the rebel Fidel Castro before, during, and AFTER his Revolution.
Since 1959 rich and politically powerful Cubans in Little Havana in Miami Florida have controlled Cuban politics in Miami, Florida, and in the United States. But now, in 2026, Little Havana's Marco Rubio as Washington's ultra-powerful Secretary of State is in a prime position to determine Cuba's FUTURE, and all of his adult life the 54-year-old Rubio has tried to overthrow the pugnacious Cuban Revolution.
Since 2018 Miguel Diaz-Canel has been Cuba's President and most of Cuba's people like him just as they did when he was the island's Education Minister. Now in March of 2026 President Diaz-Canel is keeping wary eyes on Marco Rubio, the Little Havana/Miami-born Cuban-American who is the powerful U. S. Secretary of State. Of course, Rubio likely will decide Diaz-Canel's and Revolutionary Cuba's fate.
The statement above is from President Trump.
And below Diaz-Canel talked to the Cuban people.
In Cuba Diaz-Canel hopes to avoid Madura's fate.
Meanwhile, in mid-march in 2026, a few timid nations -- even Canada -- are thinking about defying the U. S. and sending a little help to Cuba's 10 million people.
Of course, as the image above shows, back in the 1950s during Dictator Batista's Cuba, the largest and most beautiful island in the Caribbean was also the richest. That was when the island's northern neighbor, the USA, massivelly supported both tourism and trade with Cuba!!
And meanwhile on March 13 in 2026:
The great photographer Roberto Suarez today posted over thirty photos from Cuba on Facebook, including the three posted below:
