The US Sends USS Nimitz Aircraft Carrier to the Caribbean: Is the Cuba Tension Taking on a New Dimension?

According to a statement made by the US Southern Command on social media, the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier was deployed to the Caribbean along with the USS Gridley and USNS Patuxent warships. The USS Nimitz has demonstrated its combat capability by serving in many critical areas in the past, from the Taiwan Strait to the Arabian Gulf. The US Navy had decided in March to extend the service period of this ship by about a year, but new deployment locations were not announced at that time.
This development is interpreted as a new phase in the current tension between the US and Cuba. US President Donald Trump had recently decided to impose customs duties on countries supplying oil to Cuba and had criticized the Havana administration harshly. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel warned that the US is preparing for military intervention and stated that such a situation could seriously affect the region.
Experts are closely monitoring how this military activity will affect the balance in the region and whether a new era will begin in Washington-Havana relations.
