short article 1 min

US President Donald Trump stated that Cuba is likely to "fall pretty soon" during an interview with CNN. He made this comment a day after mentioning a potential project for Cuba after the war against Iran. Trump's comments were seen as a renewed threat to the communist-ruled island, which has been facing a US energy blockade. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will reportedly be Trump's point man on Cuba, given his son's background as a Cuban immigrant and desire for regime change in Havana. The US and Israel recently launched attacks on Iran that killed its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading some to speculate that Cuba could be next on Trump's list of foreign interventions.
