President Trump told reporters on Sunday that he will finish dealing with Cuba “soon” as war with Iran rages on and months-long threats to take over Cuba linger.
“Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do,” Trump told Bloomberg’s Jeff Mason during a gaggle on Air Force One last night. “We’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba.”
This comes as the Department of Justice is preparing to charge Communist Cuban leaders in cases related to drugs or violence.
Meanwhile, as The Gateway Pundit recently reported, U.S. Southern Command announced new operations with the Ecuadorian military against narco-terrorists in South America and is still surging troops to the region.
Trump noted that on Sunday afternoon, a large group of supporters with Cuban and American flags was waiting on his motorcade’s route from Mar-a-Lago to Palm Beach International Airport. “People have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba, and when I left Palm Beach today, there were thousands of people in the road. I’m sure you saw them, and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela, all friendly, all friendly, waving the flag and waving the American flag,” he said.
The group stood outside for hours in the rain to show their support.

“They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” Trump added.
WATCH:
Mason: You said that you’re talking to Cuba. What do you want to hear from them, and what is at risk for them?
Trump: Well, I am holding Cuba— Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do. We have a lot of great people that happen to vote for Trump, not that that matters, but we have a lot of great people from Cuba that were violently and viciously thrown out of the country, and worse. Their families were killed. And so we’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba.
Mason: And what is at risk for Cuba?
Trump: You know, people have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba, and when I left Palm Beach today, there were thousands of people in the road. I’m sure you saw them, and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela, all friendly, all friendly, waving the flag and waving the American flag. They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said earlier this month that “Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.” Previously, he had suggested that the US could “very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba,” adding, “They’re in big trouble.”
“They want to make a deal so badly. They want to make a deal. And so I’m going to put Marco [Rubio] over there, and we’ll see how that works out,” Trump told CNN.
This is in addition to an oil embargo and threatening tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba through an Executive Order.
