The U.S. pressure campaign against Cuba appears to have entered a new phase.

The US escalated pressure on Cuba after charging former president Raul Castro, with Marco Rubio saying Washington remains open to talks but sees little chance of a negotiated solution.

Trump is ramping up the pressure. First a MQ-4C Triton near Cuba, now the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and two escort warships have entered the Caribbean.

The Supreme Court subjected the world’s largest cruise ship companies to a stiff headwind on Thursday, reviving a claim that alleged they trafficked in property confiscated by the Cuban government when they docked their ships in Havana.

Supreme Court dealt a major blow to four cruise lines accused of profiting from Cuban property seized during Fidel Castro's communist revolution in 1959.

Federal prosecutors have announced charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro in the 1996 downing of civilian planes operated by Miami-based exiles.

The USS Nimitz arrived in the southern Caribbean on the same day the Justice Department indicted Cuba's Raúl Castro on murder charges.
