The Bottom Line
New York Times defends reporting that Trump administration is working to oust Cuban President Díaz-Canel, after Secretary Rubio called it fake.
AI Summary
The New York Times is standing by reporting that the Trump administration is working to oust Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly dismissed the story as "fake." The Times' Monday report alleged the effort is underway even as U.S. and Cuban officials are engaged in separate diplomatic talks. Rubio's rebuttal raises questions about the administration's Cuba policy and its relationship with the press amid ongoing U.S.-Cuban negotiations. The dispute highlights a fundamental disagreement over what is actually happening behind closed doors in the Trump administration's approach to the island nation.
