“Cuba is falling. It’s a failing nation.” President Trump, answering a question at the White House on Monday about whether he still plans to “take Cuba,” said the island’s ideology is very similar to the Democrat ideology and predicted it “will fall fairly soon.” He said the United States is helping Cuba on a humanitarian basis and takes care of Cuban Americans, who he said voted for him at 94 percent.
The exchange came during a briefing-room appearance with UFC chief Dana White.
The exchange came during an unusual briefing-room appearance in which Trump brought UFC chief Dana White to the podium and, at one point, offered him a job in the administration, which White politely turned down. Cuba’s government has been a target of Trump’s rhetoric since he returned to office, and he has said more than once that he expects it to fall. The island remains under a United States trade embargo that has been in place for decades.
