U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz warned Sunday that Chinese and Russian intelligence sites operating in Cuba remain an active ‘national security threat’ just off America’s shores.

National Security Concerns

Waltz claimed that both Chinese and Russian entities are collecting information around U.S. military bases in Cuba. The Cuban regime is not only a threat to its own people, but also a national security threat, according to Waltz.

The administration has already pushed back against Chinese and Russian influence across much of the Western Hemisphere, citing reduced adversarial footholds in Venezuela, Central America, and around the Panama Canal, even as Cuba remains a concern.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also raised separate foreign influence concerns about Iran’s growing footprint in Cuba, citing reports that roughly 300 Iranian-made drones are stationed on the island just 90 miles off Florida’s coast.
