Amid Tensions, U.S. Secretary of War Plans Visit to Guantanamo Naval Base
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will travel this Wednesday to the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba and to Tampa, Florida, to meet with troops stationed in Cuban territory and with units from Central Command (CENTCOM), the U.S. government announced in an official statement. Although the reason for the trip to both locations has not been specified, this move comes amid tensions between Havana and Washington, following a U.S. military helicopter crash in the Strait of Hormuz during a ceasefire with Iran. This marks the second visit by a Trump administration official to the U.S. territory at Guantanamo Naval Base in the past 15 days. General Francis L. Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, was in Cuba on May 29 to discuss issues such as 'the safety of military personnel and their families and operational readiness, along with base officials.' Donovan also conducted an analysis of the 'perimeter security of the naval base' during the meeting, which included representatives from the Cuban military. President Donald Trump has openly threatened to take control of Cuba, stating that the island could be his next military target after Iran.
