In his first statement following the start of the ship blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump noted that after the Iran agenda, they would also 'deal with' the issue of Cuba, saying, 'Cuba is a different story. That place has been horribly managed for years. We can look there after Iran.'
In his first statement following the start of the ship blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump continued his threats not only towards Iran but also towards Cuba.
"WE MIGHT STOP BY CUBA AFTER DEALING WITH THE IRAN ISSUE"
Trump claimed that Iran had taken a new step in negotiations, saying, "The purpose of the blockade is to bring Iran back to the negotiation table. We received a call from Iran; they are very eager to make a deal."
Trump also noted that after the Iran agenda, they would "deal with" the Cuba issue, stating, "Cuba is a different story. That place has been horribly managed for years. We can look into it after Iran."
US OIL BARRIER ON CUBA
US President Donald Trump had signed a presidential decree on January 30 that imposed customs duties on all goods from countries selling or supplying oil to Cuba.
The White House argued that this decision aimed to protect the US national security and foreign policy interests against Cuba's "harmful actions and policies."
Trump announced on February 1 that negotiations had begun with the Cuban administration regarding the regulation of oil supply, but Cuba denied this.
Trump, who frequently threatens the Havana administration, said, "Cuba... is a beautiful island. The weather is great. It would be an honor for me to take Cuba. Would I liberate it, or seize it... But let me tell you the truth if you want: I think I can do whatever I want with it."
The government had activated an emergency package to survive without external oil supply.
