Trump: “Cuba is next”

Now, he has sparked fresh concern after reportedly suggesting Cuba could be his next target. Speaking at a summit in Miami on Saturday, Trump said: “Cuba is next,” according to Reuters.

He has also previously described Cuba’s leadership as “sinister forces of communism and evil.”

The comments come amid his long-standing criticism of Cuba, which he has repeatedly labeled an “enemy.” Cuba – already grappling with a severe food and energy crisis – responded by saying it is prepared to respond to any potential invasion, according to VT.

Trump has also introduced strict tariffs targeting countries supplying oil to Cuba, a move that has had serious consequences for the island’s already fragile economy.

Speaking in the Oval Office previously, Trump said: “I do believe I’ll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That’s a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form,” according to VT.
