The Fox News Rundown

Is Cuba next?

While Washington focuses on Iran, a new national security crisis looms just off our shores. Facing crippling fuel shortages from U.S. sanctions, Cuba is now firmly in the administration's crosshairs—with speculation building over a potential strike like the U.S. operation in Venezuela.

Former Miami Mayor and FOX News contributor Francis Suarez recently joined host Dave Anthony on the Rundown to discuss the situation on the Island Nation.

Saurez is featured in a new FOX Nation special, "Cuba: A New Dawn", that details the "maximum pressure" strategy being deployed by President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Saurez discusses what a collapse of Cuba's regime could look like and how the administration would handle a gradual transition to democracy and capitalism.

He also discusses the dangerous influence of China, Russia, and Iran operating in the region and why he believes the island nation is a national security threat.

Earlier this week, twelve states filed a lawsuit trying to block Paramount's proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. The lawsuit is trying to argue the merger would eliminate competition in Hollywood and reduce choices for all consumers nationwide. A Paramount-Warner combo would bring together two of Hollywood's last five legacy studios. Paramount says the lawsuit "distorts settled antitrust law" and maintains that a merger would instead create a "stronger competitor against dominant streaming and technology platforms.'

FOX’s Krystin Goodwin speaks with Jon Leibowitz, antitrust legal counsel to 'Paramount+' and former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who says he is confident the merger will boost competition and will offer much more content to viewers.
