President Donald Trump has suggested that Cuba may be next on the list of countries to take a knee, as the United States military seems to be on a generational run of operational domination.
Amid ongoing military strikes against Iran in Operation Epic Fury – just weeks after a successful mission to remove Nicolas Maduro in Operation Absolute Resolve – President Trump and the American way are on a roll.
“People are loving what’s happening,” the president told POLITICO in an interview on Thursday.
He also added, “Cuba’s going to fall, too…we cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal.”
The idea of making a move on Cuba – a communist-controlled regime – is not new. President Trump last week described the nation as a “failing” one, and suggested, “Maybe we’ll have a friendly takeover of Cuba.”
He told reporters that Secretary of State Marco Rubio “is dealing” with Cuba “at a very high level.”
Last week, Cuba found itself in hot water after an incident between Cuban officials and a boat registered to a Florida address, resulting in the death of four people, as reported by RSBN.
The incident is still being investigated, but at the time, Secretary Rubio remarked on the instability of Cuba, and the suffering of its people. “They’ve been suffering for a long time,” he stated.
Rubio continued, “They’re suffering now, perhaps more than at any time in recent memory, perhaps in the history since 1959. This is the worst economic climate that Cuba has faced, and it is the authorities there in that government who are responsible for that. They are the ones that have made decisions that have left Cuba vulnerable to the situation they’re now in.”
