The U.S. military may be ramping up for a potential Cuba operation, multiple reports suggest.

Two sources familiar with the matter leaked the information toUSA Todayon condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly — a report the U.S. military has yet to verify. Open source intelligence accounts on X also documented the flight path of a drone that appeared to be spying on the communist nation.

“BLKCAT6, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C ‘Triton’ High-Altitude Surveillance Drone flew an over 12-hour mission yesterday off the coast of Cuba, flying rounds over the Gulf of America and Northern Caribbean, taking a particularly close look at both Havana and the area near Guantanamo Bay, before returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida,” OSINTdefenderpostedon X.

The USA Today leak came just over a month after President Donald Trump’s announcement that Cuba’s regime was at “the end of the line” at theShield of the Americas Summiton March 7.

“As part of our standard responsibilities, U.S. Southern Command routinely reviews and updates contingency plans to ensure readiness and support for U.S. government objectives in the region,” U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email, when asked whether it is preparing operational plans regarding Cuba.

Trump said that it is a possibility that Cuba could be “next” during a speech at an investment forum in Miami on March 27, according to a video that was posted byReuters.

“I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,” Trump said in a Truth Social post that was reposted by the official White HouseX account.

“We do not comment on specific operational planning or contingency plans nor speculate on hypothetical scenarios,” SOUTHCOM added.

“Any planning activities conducted by U.S. Southern Command are consistent with established Department of War procedures and are closely coordinated with the Pentagon and other relevant agencies as appropriate. This command remains focused on its mission to promote security, stability, and cooperation in the region.”

The U.S. has enforced a de facto oil blockade on Cuba since the capture of deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
