Trump to Send More Money to Fund Regime Change in Cuba?

President Donald Trump

The Trump administration is planning to spend $1.8 billion on “America First” initiatives, including funds to “confront the Marxist, anti-American regimes of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua,” according to a document sent to Congress that was obtained by Reuters. Trump has cut foreign aid around the world, but many recipients of regime change moneys targeting Cuba have maintained their funding. Specific details of how these new "America First" funds will be spent – and how much will be allocated to attempting to overthrow the Cuban government – are unclear.
