Following a nationwide blackout in Cuba, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested the country is next on his administration's agenda, hinting at potential action after dealing with Iran. Trump stated that change in Cuba is imminent and that Cuban authorities are eager to negotiate a deal. He mentioned involving Marco Rubio in the process and suggested potential face-to-face negotiations.
