New Threat: Trump Reiterates Interest in Change of Power in Cuba
Donald Trump has often spoken of a military intervention in Cuba. Now the US President is setting himself a deadline.
Washington - US President Donald Trump has indicated that he intends to force a change in power on Cuba during the remaining two years of his term, and might be willing to engage in a military intervention. "I want to finish Cuba before I go," Trump stated in a radio interview. When asked by moderator Hugh Hewitt whether he would consider a one-week military operation, Trump replied: "I would certainly consider it."
Trump has previously floated the idea of a US military intervention in Cuba, suggesting that American warships could approach the Caribbean island as their vessels returned from the Iran conflict, and station themselves off Cuba's coast where the regime might surrender. The socialist island nation criticized US threats of military action and other measures, such as the oil embargo, during the UN General Debate in September.
