  • It was about a week ago that the Trump administration took maybe the boldest

  • action against Cuba that we've seen since the end of the Cold War.

  • An indictment of Raul Castro, brother of Fidel.

  • That's a big deal.

  • And then the biggest question became, are we about to invade Cuba?

  • What is the president planning?

  • What does his long weekend look like?

  • People kept asking Trump if he was going to attend his large adult son's wedding.

  • A person I've known for a long time.

  • And he was like...

  • Probably not.

  • He'd like me to go.

  • And then he definitely didn't go.

  • So people were like, here we go.

  • Cuba's next.

  • But then that didn't happen either.

  • In fact, the United States started bombing Iran again.

  • But Cuba's still in a tough spot.

  • Arguably the toughest spot it's been in since the Castros

  • took over in 1959. So we're going to ask what could happen next on Today Explained.
