US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to “get Cuba done” before leaving office, adding that he would “certainly consider” using military force against the island nation.
Asked in an interview with the Salem News Channel whether he would authorize military action before the end of his presidency, Trump said: “I want to get Cuba done before I leave,” Anadolu Agency reported.
“We’re watching it very closely. It’s doing very poorly. It’s essentially a failed nation,” Trump told reporters.
He praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents are from Cuba, saying Rubio “would love to do that.”
“I’d love to be able to do it for the people, for the Cubans that came and were treated really badly, and they came to America,” Trump said.
