  • Cuba has shaped much of Marco Rubio's political life. If confirmed as secretary of state, he's expected to take action on his parents' homeland.

The article from MSN discusses how Senator Marco Rubio, if appointed as Secretary of State, could significantly influence U.S. policy towards Cuba. Rubio, known for his hardline stance against the Cuban government, has consistently advocated for a tougher approach to Cuba's regime, including maintaining and possibly intensifying the economic embargo. His potential role could lead to a reversal of some of the diplomatic and economic openings initiated by the Obama administration. Rubio's Cuban-American heritage and his personal connection to the issues of human rights and democracy in Cuba could raise the stakes in U.S.-Cuba relations, potentially leading to increased pressure on the Cuban government for reforms, while also possibly straining diplomatic ties further. His appointment might also encourage a broader policy shift towards Latin America, focusing on promoting democracy and human rights, which could alter the geopolitical landscape in the region.
