Trump’s Clear Message: The Western Hemisphere Is Ours

source: Victory Girls

This all points to Cuba, at long last, being the next domino to fall. Russia is in no position to rush in to help, and China probably won’t either. The Trump administration’s position is being made starkly clear – the Western Hemisphere is the purview of the United States.
