The U.S. has launched an investigation into a violent encounter between Cuban coastguards and a Florida-registered vessel, which tragically resulted in at least four deaths and several injuries. Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, has ordered an inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and to collaborate with federal and law enforcement agencies. In his statement, Uthmeier expressed skepticism toward the Cuban government's account of the event, asserting, 'You cannot trust Cuba. We will do everything possible to hold the communists accountable.' This reflects a broader geopolitical strain between the U.S. and Cuba, particularly over maritime issues and the treatment of dissidents.
