Trump: “Cuba is Next. I Could do Anything with it”

Donald Trump spoke at length about the situation in Cuba, describing the country as economically weakened but rich in natural beauty and human potential. He said Cuba is currently in talks with the United States and called it a “failed nation” facing severe shortages of money, oil, and resources. At the same time, Trump praised the Cuban people as “entrepreneurial” and “smart,” citing examples of Cuban Americans who built successful businesses after leaving the island. He noted that many Cuban-origin families in the U.S. still hope to return one day. Trump also suggested that Cuba’s tourism potential and favorable climate could make it an attractive destination in the future. However, his remarks drew attention when he claimed he could have the “honor” of “taking Cuba in some form,” signaling a possible shift in U.S. policy amid ongoing tensions.
