Rep. Carlos Giménez: U.S. is “Trying to Starve” Cuba
September 15, 2026
“Trying to starve them.”
That's how Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) describes U.S. policy toward Cuba.
During an interview on CNN’s Inside Politics, Giménez said the U.S. wants to “put the squeeze” on Cuba and compares the approach to the U.S. strategy against Iran — where the U.S. has carried out thousands of airstrikes since February.
“Eventually what I think we need to do is leave all options on the table,” he said.
