Trump: Cuba Is Next, ‘Gonna Fall Pretty Soon’ Amid Iran War
As tensions surge in the Middle East, Trump hints Cuba could topple soon while Havana accuses Washington of choking its economy.
In a phone interview with CNN, President Donald Trump said Cuba is 'gonna fall pretty soon,' signaling a renewed push to reshape Havana's government.
The remarks come as Cuba's government, perched just 90 miles off Florida, accuses Washington of trying to choke its economy, a charge that underscores the high-stakes rhetoric surrounding regime-change ambitions in the region.
Trump also floated a plan to deploy a top U.S. official to Cuba to oversee possible negotiations, saying [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio would be sent to 'see how that works out,' while insisting the focus remains on Cuba 'after 50 years.'
The comments come amid a week of U.S.-Israeli military actions in the Middle East that have unsettled the region and intensified discussions about a broader campaign against regimes in the area, with Cuba now mentioned as a potential next arena.
Analysts say the statements reflect hardline rhetoric aimed at signaling resolve more than delivering immediate policy changes, but they raise the stakes for Havana and for U.S. allies in the hemisphere.
