Meanwhile, the specter of potential military action on the island still looms, as a US military carrier was sent to the region and Rubio has repeatedly asserted that Cuba poses a threat to the United States.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThese sanctions target the Cuban regime\u2019s wide-ranging and violent radical action network and the actors who implement and fund it,\u201d Rubio said Thursday.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cBeginning with Fidel Castro\u2019s program to globalize the so-called Marxist \u2018revolution,\u2019 Havana has served as a forward operating base for global irregular warfare against U.S. interests, recruiting, training, and equipping violent left-wing militants across our region \u2013 including Marxist terrorist groups in the United States \u2013 with the ultimate goal of undermining U.S. national security,\u201d he claimed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rubio warned of the threat of secondary sanctions against \u201canyone dealing with entities owned 50 percent or more by GAESA, MINFAR, or the previously designated Ministry of the Interior.\u201d GAESA is the military conglomerate that runs much of Cuba\u2019s economy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=1735\">Trump plans to attend Game 3 of NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cForeign banks and companies providing services to those designated are at risk of sanctions\u202fand should freeze those activities,\u201d a separate State Department fact sheet warned. \u201cThe Trump Administration will continue to target the Cuban regime\u2019s subversive network, those who enable its subversive operations, and those who profit while the Cuban people suffer.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            On Wednesday, Rubio told lawmakers on Capitol Hill the US \u201cis open to a negotiated situation that puts Cuba on a path towards democracy, prosperity, freedom, normalcy\u201d and \u201cwould work with whoever is open to doing it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The top US diplomat acknowledged the prospect is \u201cchallenging\u201d and indicated they haven\u2019t found an equivalent to Delcy Rodriguez \u2013 the US backed former Maduro associate in Venezuela \u2013 within the Cuban system.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rubio suggested a transition could be more similar to the Czech Republic or Poland, where he said they preserved \u201ccertain institutions in their society in order to provide stability and longevity to the project that we\u2019re in.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere are specific, maybe, technocrats that we could work with, I think it\u2019s a little harder when you get higher up, because of the ideological bent that some of them have,\u201d Rubio told the House Foreign Affairs Committee, noting that \u201cthere are clearly individuals within the apparatus of power in that country that understand that what they have now is not sustainable and needs to be fixed.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            However, asked about a \u201cDelcy number two,\u201d Rubio said they haven\u2019t found such a person.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cUltimately, if you\u2019re asking me, is there a singular individual right now that we would trust and rely on to lead this transition from start to finish?
