Trump says Castro family's rule in Cuba has 'zero' chance of continuing
US President Donald Trump ruled out the Castro family remaining in power in Cuba, saying their chances are 'zero percent' without specifying when or how change may come.
US President Donald Trump has stated that the Castro family's rule in Cuba has "zero percent" chance of continuing. He made these remarks on Saturday, without specifying when or how change may occur in the Caribbean nation. Trump's comments indicate his belief that the family will not maintain power in the near future. This sentiment reflects the ongoing tensions between the United States and Cuba, as well as the broader dispute over the island's political system and government policies.
The Castro family has been a central figure in Cuba's governance since the 1959 Revolution, led by Fidel Castro until his resignation in 2008, followed by his brother Raul Castro's leadership until 2018. Raul then stepped down as president, paving the way for his successor, Miguel Diaz-Canel. Despite this shift, Raul Castro's influence remains significant in Cuban politics.
