U.S. President Donald Trump made riddle-like statements about Cuba, which he marked as the "next stop." Trump, who announced that the Cuban government had contacted them, left the scenarios regarding the future of the island unanswered, while opening the door to a new process with his words, "A collapsed country but a beautiful island."
U.S. President Donald Trump signaled once again that the new direction in foreign policy could be Cuba. Stating that Cuba is a "collapsed country," Trump mentioned that they are in contact with the island's administration while maintaining a mysterious stance regarding the steps to be taken.
Answering questions from journalists at the White House, Donald Trump confused minds with his response to the question, "Is Cuba the next target?" When asked whether a possible military movement or political change in Cuba would resemble the Iran model or the Venezuela model, Trump preferred strategic silence.
"A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING"
Trump harshly criticized Cuba's current economic and political situation, describing the country as "bankrupt." Praising Cuba's natural beauty, Trump summarized the economic picture with the following words:
"I can't tell you this, but I can say that they are talking to us. A collapsed country; they have no money, no oil, nothing at all. They have beautiful land and views, you know, really a beautiful island."
MYSTERIOUS CONTACTS: THEY SPOKE WITH US
The most striking point in Trump's statement was the confirmation that the Cuban administration has reached out to the U.S. Without revealing operational details or a diplomatic roadmap, Trump reiterated the phrase "Next Cuba," showing that he has not given up on his stubbornness regarding the neighbor just 150 kilometers away from the state of Florida.
