Trump says Cuba ‘will fall’ at UN meeting, prompting Cuban delegation to walk out
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump labeled Cuba an "absolutely failed state" during his United Nations General Assembly address, prompting the Cuban delegation to walk out of the General Assembly Hall.
- The United States has maintained a 66-year embargo against Cuba, while the Trump administration has aggressively increased pressure through sanctions that have "shuttered hospitals and made food scarce."
- Reports indicate Trump actively considered launching a military operation against Cuba and abducting its leaders, similar to the January authorization involving Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
- Seeking a "fundamental change" in Cuba, the administration noted that Marco Rubio is "deep into negotiations" with the island nation to manage the diplomatic relationship.
- Hardline Cuban-Americans in Florida have long advocated for regime change since the 1959 overthrow of U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista, providing a political base for Trump's policies.
