Havana, Cuba CNN —For more than 60 years Cuba has buckled under US economic sanctions and its own government’s missteps. The son of Cuban exiles, Rubio has long made it his mission to ramp up the US trade embargo on Cuba. If confirmed, Secretary of State Rubio will face far more pressing issues like Russia’s war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and countering growing Chinese influence in the world, particularly in Latin America. As secretary of state, Rubio could run point on devising additional economic sanctions on Cuba, increasing funding for dissidents and pro-democracy programs that Havana considers tantamount to regime change, and further restricting US travel to Cuba. During the first Trump administration, “Rubio called the shots on Cuba,” a US diplomat who did want to be quoted by name told CNN.

At least a dozen more apartment projects are underway at malls across the country, including in California, Florida, Arizona and Texas. For developers, adding apartments can not only fill a need, but also bring people closer to their remaining retail stores and restaurants. The Lafayette Square Mall in Indianapolis is slated to open 1,200 apartment units, including affordable housing in a former Sears building, beginning in 2025.
