A fatal shooting on a boat traveling to Cuba is bringing fresh attention to a deep-rooted movement in Florida against the island’s government. The Cuban government says the men aboard the boat Wednesday were terrorists who wanted to infiltrate the country. The boat was stolen and loaded with weapons when it departed the Florida Keys. The shooting left four dead. Tensions have been simmering between the U.S. and Cuba since the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. President Donald Trump and his administration have taken a more aggressive stance toward Cuba, largely supported economically by Venezuela’s oil.
