Donald Trump, 79, Threatens Surreal ‘Last Moments’ Cuba Takeover
During a recent summit in Miami, President Donald Trump, aged 79, declared that Cuba is nearing a critical point. Speaking at the inaugural “Shield of the Americas” initiative, he characterized the nation as “living on borrowed time.”
Trump’s Stark Warning on Cuba
Trump’s remarks came as he addressed leaders from 12 nations in the Western Hemisphere at the Trump National Doral Golf Club. He emphasized Cuba’s dire economic state, stating, “Cuba’s in its last moments of life.” He further described the government as a “bad regime” lacking funds and resources.
Impending Changes in Cuba
The president assured attendees that significant change is imminent for the island. He stated, “A great change is coming to Cuba,” and revealed plans for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 54, to finalize negotiations with Cuban officials shortly. “He’ll take an hour off, and then he’ll finish up a deal on Cuba,” Trump humorously claimed.
Strategic Significance of the Summit
Trump’s comments were part of the launch of the “Shield of the Americas,” a coalition aimed at addressing issues like drug trafficking and illegal immigration. The president stressed that Cuba’s economic challenges result from the U.S. pressure campaign targeting Venezuelan support, which has dwindled due to recent U.S. actions against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Cuban Negotiations
- Trump stated that Cuba is already negotiating with U.S. officials.
- He revealed that several Latin American leaders had privately asked him to intervene in Cuba.
- “Four of you said, ‘Actually, could you do us a favor? Take care of Cuba,'” Trump recounted.
Despite his assertive statements, Trump acknowledged that current tensions with Iran are a priority, suggesting any immediate action regarding Cuba may be delayed.
Conclusion of the Summit
The summit concluded with Trump engaging in a group signing of a joint declaration with Latin American leaders. In a peculiar moment, he insisted that celebratory music should continue playing as they gathered for this occasion.
