In May, the Associated Press wrote that Trump had warned several times that "Cuba is next." As the U.S.-Iran entered a ceasefire/agreement window, the market began to search for the next possible escalation of military pressure under the Trump administration, with Cuba being a key target in Trump's tough stance in the Western Hemisphere.

On June 10, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin warned during a visit to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base that if Cuba tries to acquire weapons that could threaten the base or the U.S. mainland, it would be seen as an "invitation to conflict." Al Jazeera reported that this statement came after Axios previously reported that Cuba had obtained over 300 military drones and had discussed attacks on Guantanamo Bay, U.S. warships, and even Key West, Florida.

However, Cuba views these accusations as U.S. attempts to justify escalation. The Cuban embassy in the U.S. and officials have repeatedly stated that Cuba "does not threaten or seek war" but has the right to self-defense. Cuban President Diaz-Canel previously warned that U.S. military action could lead to "rivers of blood." The Cuban government has also distributed family protection guidelines to the public in response to "military aggression," indicating that Havana is narrating a defense story and engaging in social mobilization based on real risks.


Note: Based on the trader's historical trading profile, it is judged that the trader is not betting on whether the event actually occurs and may engage in profit-taking or stop-loss behavior at a certain point after opening the position.
