Trump says he wants to ‘get Cuba done’ before leaving office
Trump says he would consider a military campaign as sanctions and an oil blockade deepen Cuba’s energy and food shortages, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump stated he aims to "get Cuba done" before his term ends in January 2029, telling Salem News Channel he would consider a military campaign if necessary.
- Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign has been in place since returning to the White House in January 2025, combining an oil blockade and sanctions that triggered a severe economic and energy crisis in Cuba.
- Describing Cuba as a "failed place," Trump praised State Secretary Marco Rubio as a "talented guy" who would love to address the situation, while Rubio previously refused to rule out an invasion during congressional testimony.
- Military action is now on the table in a way not previously considered, as White House officials noted that what originated as mild musings inside the Oval Office has evolved into genuine interest.
- This hardline policy marks a significant departure from diplomatic norms, creating the most intense tensions between the two nations since the Cold War and reshaping regional geopolitics.
