Rubio doubtful of diplomacy with Cuba as Trump renews threat of military action
US secretary of state says president would like a negotiated agreement with Havana but likelihood ‘is not high’

Trump said previous US presidents have considered intervening in Cuba for decades but that “it looks like I’ll be the one that does it”.
