President Trump on Monday again floated “taking Cuba,” saying he believes he will have the “honor” of doing so.
During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that Cuba is “very weakened,” noting that its “very violent” regime has destroyed the country.
“All my life, I’ve been hearing about the United States and Cuba. You know, when will the United States do it?”
This comes as the Department of Justice is preparing to charge Communist Cuban leaders in cases related to drugs or violence.
Cuba also faced a nationwide blackout after Trump cut off the flow of oil by threatening tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba through an Executive Order.
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 told Fox’s Peter Doocy that Cuba is “talking to us” but declined to say whether he plans to use the military to invade Cuba as he did in Venezuela in January.
“I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it, you want to know the truth. They’re a very weakened nation right now,” he said.
