tTrump ranted to reporters that he had the right to do anything he wanted with Cuba on Monday, claiming that the island nation is a failed state and promising that the country was next on his list of adversaries to confront after Iran.
His comments came as senior figures in his administration have repeatedly stressed that the war with Iran will end in the coming days, while refusing to outline the presidents specific goals and skirting around the issue of using Americas military as the worlds police force.
trump was participating in an executive order signing ceremony on Monday when he was asked about Cuba by a reporter. He responded that he could take the entire island, and added that he would likely have the honor of doing so in some form.
I do believe Ill be the honor of-- have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. Thats a big honor, he said
Taking Cuba? asked Foxs White House reporter, Peter Doocy.
Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah, trump confirmed. Taking Cuba.
I mean, whether I free it, or take it...I think I can do anything I want with it, to tell you the truth, trump said.
trumps threats against Cuba follow a very public warning from a GOP senator who strongly backed the presidents military campaign against Iran, Lindsey Graham.
The South Carolina Republican gleefully stated that the president was targeting authoritarian regimes one by one, with Cuba next on the agenda.
