US President Donald Trump told CNN on Friday morning (Saturday morning AEDT) that Cuba “is going to fall pretty soon”.
“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a phone interview when touting US military success in his second term.

“They’re eager to negotiate, so I’m assigning Marco [Rubio] to lead the charge. We’re currently concentrating on this particular issue. There’s ample time for other matters, but after half a century, Cuba is ready,” he explained, emphasizing that Iran remains the immediate focus.

Speaking about Cuba, he remarked, “I’ve observed the situation for five decades, and now it has come directly into my purview. Thanks to my efforts, it has landed in our hands, and we are making significant progress.”

Just a day prior, at the White House, Trump expressed confidence that it’s merely a “matter of time” before Cuban Americans can return to their homeland, suggesting that this is on the administration’s agenda after addressing the ongoing conflict with Iran.

“He’s doing a remarkable job, and your next mission will be what we call that special Cuba project,” Trump commented on Thursday, referring to his Secretary of State.

“He’s poised to act. However, he advises, ‘Let’s wrap up this current task first.’ Although we could tackle everything simultaneously, history shows that rushing can lead to negative outcomes. We’re committed to ensuring nothing detrimental occurs to our nation.”
