Trump says he wants to "resolve the Cuba issue" before leaving office

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Thursday (12) that he is considering using force against Cuba. The statement was made during an interview with the American TV channel "Salem News Channel", when asked whether he would order a military operation to overthrow the country's government.

"I would certainly consider it, yes," Trump responded.

The Republican also said that he is closely monitoring the situation on the island, which he classified as a failed nation. He mentioned the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, son of Cuban immigrants, and stated that the head of American diplomacy would like to act to change the country's situation.

Trump also cited the support he received from Cuban-American voters in the last election. According to him, his approval among Florida's Latino voters has been increasing since 2024, when he was elected to his second term.

"Frankly, I wish I could do that for the people, for the Cubans who came. They were very mistreated [in Cuba] and came to the United States."
