While Joe Biden sat in the Oval Office for four years, China was quietly building a surveillance empire just ninety miles off the coast of Florida—and his administration admitted it on camera and did absolutely nothing. Now, with Cuba on the brink of total economic collapse, President Donald Trump is turning Beijing's spy playground into leverage for what could become the most significant strategic victory in the Western Hemisphere in decades.
The Threat Biden Ignored
Let that sink in, Patriots. Satellite imagery has now confirmed at least four Chinese surveillance installations operating on Cuban soil, aimed directly at American military sites from Guantanamo Bay to Cape Canaveral. We're talking long-range antenna arrays, missile tracking technology, drone bases on nearby islands, and Chinese cargo ships lurking near Key West equipped with surveillance gear and missile systems.
This isn't a single spy base. This is an expanding network specifically designed to intercept American military communications and monitor our response capabilities. Lawmakers are warning these facilities could enable Beijing to wage war on the United States without firing a single shot—and the Biden regime watched it happen in real time.
Beijing has been paying Havana billions for the privilege of spying on America from our own backyard, and the upgrades were accelerating fast. Until now.
Trump Sees the Opening—And Takes It
Here's where the story gets good. Cuba is running out of oil. Venezuela's lifeline evaporated after the arrest of Maduro. Russia and Algeria walked away. Mexico is cutting off shipments. Analysts say the communist regime has roughly two weeks of fuel remaining before total societal collapse.
President Trump saw the opening and seized it with both hands.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed he is engaged in direct, high-level talks with Cuban leaders and believes they are close to a deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out the ultimatum in terms only this administration would have the courage to deliver.
"Cuba can have a real country with a functioning economy where people prosper, or continue with a failing dictatorship heading toward societal collapse."
Secretary Doug Burgum confirmed that whatever deal Trump strikes will be good for the American people and rooted in energy dominance. This is America First foreign policy at its finest.
Three-Dimensional Chess
Cuban President Díaz-Canel predicted this pressure campaign, warning that Washington would weaponize energy to force collapse. Congratulations, comrade—your prediction just became reality.
Trump is squeezing Cuba from every direction, using their desperation as leverage to potentially flip a Chinese surveillance asset into an American strategic victory. Congressman Byron Donalds backs the approach, calling it essential to hemispheric security.
Think about what's on the table here. President Trump is simultaneously working to eliminate Chinese spy bases from America's backyard, prevent a refugee crisis at our southern border, and demonstrate American strength to every hostile regime watching—from Tehran to Moscow to Beijing.
This is the kind of bold, decisive leadership that the Biden administration was constitutionally incapable of delivering. Four years of weakness invited our enemies to set up shop in our hemisphere. Four days of Trump-style negotiation might undo the damage entirely.
The Clock Is Ticking
The Chinese Communist Party has to be in full panic mode right now. Their billion-dollar investment in Cuban surveillance infrastructure could be wiped out by a single deal—one that Trump appears ready to close.
Secretary Rubio says he wants Cuba to be a normal, prosperous country—not a playground for Iran, Russia, and China. After sixty-plus years of communist misery and decades of serving as a forward operating base for America's enemies, that future is suddenly within reach.
Will Cuba take the lifeline President Trump is offering, or will they choose collapse and chaos? Either way, America wins. That's the art of the deal, folks.
