Trump ally openly threatens Cuban officials in online frenzy: 'Wipe you out in minutes'

Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL), a Cuban-born lawmaker and close ally of President Donald Trump, issued a barrage of open threats to Cuban government officials Sunday, warning them that the United States had the “capability to wipe [them] all out in a matter of minutes.”

Following the U.S. attack and takeover of Venezuela – which included the capture of President Nicolás Maduro – calls among Republicans for the Trump administration to target Cuba next have intensified, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Giménez leading the charge.
