China and Cuba are reportedly engaged in high-level discussions to establish a new joint military training facility on the island, raising the prospect of Beijing stationing troops less than 100 miles off U.S. shores.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Tuesday that U.S. intelligence suggests talks about a facility on Cuba’s northern coast "are at an advanced stage but not concluded," as the Biden administration has contacted Cuban officials to stall the agreement and dissuade any course of action due to concerns the Communist nation might have about ceding sovereignty.
Citing current and former U.S. officials, the Journal reported that the proposal for the China-Cuba military training facility was referenced "in highly classified new U.S. intelligence, which they described as convincing but fragmentary."
