Republican strategist and South and Hill Strategies co-founder Colin Reed joins FOX's Alex Hogan to discuss what the latest polling on U.S. military strikes in Iran could mean at the ballot box, and how the GOP is balancing "America First" isolationism with global leadership.

Is Cuba next? While the U.S. remains in conflict with Iran, another potential crisis looms much closer to home. Cuba, which is already facing massive fuel shortages since President Trump cut off oil shipments and imposed additional sanctions on the island nation, is now being called a national security threat by the administration. The President has threatened to take even further action, creating speculation he could strike Cuba similarly to the operation against Venezuela earlier this year. Former Miami Mayor and FOX News contributor Francis Suarez joins the Rundown to discuss the situation on the ground and his new FOX Nation special, "Cuba: A New Dawn," which analyzes how President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are applying maximum economic pressure on the regime. He also explains the dangerous influence of adversarial nations like China, Russia, and Iran operating in the region.
