“If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump,” he says. “He’s the strongest president when it comes to Cuba.”

To be fair, that's probably accurate; my guess is that Trump probably takes a harder line on Cuba than Harris would. If someone has strongly anti-Cuban-government positions, then, yeah, I can see why that'd be an concern for them.

This is from prior to the general election, comparing Cuba positions:

For decades, the United States has enforced a trade embargo against the island that complicates Cuba’s global financial transactions. Trump’s designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism and reinstatement of other restrictions during his 2017-2021 presidency snuffed out an historic rapprochement under former President Barack Obama, under whom President Joe Biden served as vice president.

Both candidates said in brief statements they would continue to draw a hard line on Cuba.

“Cuba is not prepared, nor will it be prepared to resist any more pressure (from the United States),” said Carlos Alzugaray, a former Cuban diplomat who is now an independent political analyst.

Alzugaray said a second Trump presidency “does not bode well.” He had more hope for a Harris presidency, which he said could ease sanctions to avoid another potential international conflict so close to US shores.

But he said there were no guarantees.

Yeah.

The point the article makes, that Trump is taking an unfriendly position towards political refugees from Cuba, is also valid, though. If you're someone who is opposed to the Cuban government and wants pressure on it...but also someone who fled to the US, you're going to have to be balancing those positions.
