The Trump administration's approach to Cuba involves escalating economic sanctions to provoke a crisis, potentially leading to military intervention. The article argues that U.S. policies, including the Torricelli and Helms-Burton Acts, violate international law by targeting Cuba's sovereignty and exacerbating humanitarian issues. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's advocacy for regime change is cited as a factor in these actions.
