President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba almost immediately, suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.
The comments came the same day Trump signed an executive order significantly expanding U.S. sanctions on the Cuban government and its affiliates.
Cubas government, foreign companies doing business on the island and U.S. allies in the region could face heightened pressure amid a sharp escalation in rhetoric and economic penalties.
Newsweek has contacted the White House for clarity on what Trump meant.

(2,779 posts)meanwhile, 'trump's' name is mentioned 10s of thousands of times in the files for a serial child rapist and sex trafficking animal and we, the people, are being deliberately kept in the dark about the depths of that man's depravity and what I believe are criminal actions.
Oh yeah, republicans hate dark skinned folks voting and are implementing jim crow(e) 2.0 across the secessionist states of the confederacy.
when will the fever break in this country?
