Senator Lindsey Graham declared that Cuba will be the next target for U.S. regime change efforts under President Trump. Speaking on Fox News, Graham told host Trey Gowdy that the communist-led Caribbean nation's "days are numbered" following similar actions against Venezuela and Iran.

Graham praised Trump's handling of Venezuela, claiming he "got him in jail" on narco-terrorism charges after Maduro's capture and transfer to New York. The senator drew parallels to the recent military operation against Iran, stating the "Ayatollah is stone cold dead" and calling Iran's regime "the mothership of international terrorism" that is "about to collapse."

The comments come amid escalating U.S.-Cuba tensions, particularly following the seizure of Venezuelan President Maduro. Cuba's economy has relied heavily on Venezuelan oil as a lifeline, making the political shifts in Caracas directly impactful for Havana. Graham positioned Trump as uniquely capable of handling these international challenges.
