Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work.

Trump framed the operation as freeing Venezuela from “thugs and extortionists” and suggested that Havana, an ally of Maduro, must act quickly to avoid consequences. The president also shared a post joking that Senator Marco Rubio would be “president of Cuba” and a doctored image of himself with the Cuban flag. While Trump has indicated he sees the Cuban government’s collapse as imminent and downplayed the need for military intervention, Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Havana should be concerned. In South Florida, home to large Cuban and Venezuelan communities, local leaders praised Maduro’s capture and expressed hope for change. Meanwhile, Cuban officials denied providing support to Venezuela in exchange for aid, calling the U.S. a “criminal and out-of-control hegemon that threatens peace and security.”
