About a week ago, we heard this comment from President Donald Trump.

Francesca, how should Americans interpret the president's statement here?

What actions has the administration taken so far and why do you describe this as a make or break moment for Rubio?

Can you tell us how this administration's approach differs from the Biden administration's?

Where did U.S.

relations with Cuba stand at the end of the Biden administration?

As you mentioned, Rubio hasn't commented on the conversations he's had with Cuba.

But how has President Diaz-Canel responded to the latest tensions, which have included calls for him to step down?

In 2014, then-President Barack Obama took steps to normalize relations with Cuba.

The U.S.

embargo remained in place, though.

What were some of the changes enacted?

You wrote that as a child, Rubio told his grandfather he would one day raise an army of exiles to overthrow Castro and become president of a free Cuba.

Now as Secretary of State, does the idea of a free Cuba still guide him?

Is there any sort of a timeline here?

What will you be watching for next?
