Trump: Cuba 'gonna fall pretty soon' amid Iran, Venezuela shifts

Trump said on Friday that his administration is close to toppling the communist government that has led Cuba since 1959, describing it as the kind of change that could come soon. He told CNN that Cuba is next after upheavals in Iran and Venezuela, a claim that underscores a continuing push from Washington over Havana's leadership.

The Cuban government, which has long faced U.S. pressure and economic restrictions, has publicly rejected such insinuations and accused Washington of trying to strangle its economy. In Havana, officials and state media have framed U.S. actions as part of a ongoing campaign to destabilize the island and undermine its governance, even as Cuba emphasizes sovereignty and resistance to outside interference.

Analysts note that while political rhetoric can shape perceptions and markets, the practical path to any regime change remains uncertain. The comments come as regional dynamics shift and as Havana observes how international developments—including the situation in Iran and pressures in Venezuela—may influence Washington's approach to Cuba.

There was no independent verification of any imminent toppling, and the White House did not lay out a concrete policy plan to back up the claim. The remarks illustrate how high-stakes diplomacy and propaganda can collide in a region where decades of tension between the United States and Cuba continue to unfold.
