Cuba has shaped much of Marco Rubio’s political life. If confirmed as secretary of state, he’s expected to take action on his parents’ homeland.
For more than 60 years Cuba has buckled under US economic sanctions and its own government’s missteps. Life on the communist-run island could soon become even more grueling. One of the Cuban government’s most formidable adversaries, Sen. Marco Rubio is set to become secretary of state under Donald Trump, something that does not bode well for the already flatlining Cuban economy. The son of Cuban exiles, Rubio has long made it his mission to ramp up the US trade embargo on Cuba.

Raising the issue of Cuba Those who have studied his career say there is no more personal issue for Rubio than ending what he sees as a tyrannical dictatorship 90 miles from US shores.
