US President Donald Trump declared again this Sunday that “very soon” he will be able to reach an agreement with Cuba and that his government’s attention will focus on the island as soon as the conflict with Iran ends.
According to him, the Havana regime has already signaled that it wants to reach negotiations with Washington. If that doesn’t happen, the president suggested that the US will do “whatever is necessary.”
The statements were made at a time of maximum tension after the Trump administration established an oil blockade on the island in January and cut off Venezuelan oil supplies. He later announced by executive order tariffs for countries that supply energy resources to the island.
In recent days, President Trump had already hinted that he would take control of the Caribbean country in a “friendly” or hostile way, which will depend on negotiations with the Miguel Diáz-Canel regime.
After months of denial, the communist dictatorship admitted last week that it is holding talks with the American government.
