Rep. Carlos Giménez says "the uprising is starting" in Cuba

Rep. Carlos Giménez of Florida is calling for regime change in Cuba, declaring that "the uprising is starting" on the island as he aligns with President Trump's rhetoric about "taking Cuba." Giménez, a Republican whose district includes a significant Cuban-American population, is using his platform to advocate for the collapse of the Cuban government. The congressman's push for regime change reflects the Trump administration's hardline stance toward Cuba and appeals to a key constituency of Cuban exiles and their descendants in South Florida who have long sought the end of the Castro-era government. Giménez's comments signal that Cuba policy is likely to become a focal point for Republican efforts during Trump's second term. The political messaging underscores the administration's willingness to pursue more aggressive foreign policy positions toward longstanding U.S. adversaries.
