Trump says he would consider a week-long military operation against Cuba

The significance lies less in any operational detail — none was given — than in the framing: a sitting US president attaching a timeframe to a military option against Cuba, a country long handled through sanctions and diplomacy rather than force. For markets, the read-through is geopolitical risk premia rather than any direct Cuba exposure, since the island is not a meaningful capital-markets counterparty. The open question is whether this remains rhetorical signaling or hardens into policy, and how regional governments and energy and shipping channels react to the ambiguity.
