Trump reiterates interest in a change of power in Cuba

Donald Trump has often spoken of military intervention in Cuba. Now the US President is setting a deadline.

US President Donald Trump has signaled that he will change power in the two remaining years of his term in office Cuba wants to force it and could also be prepared to use military force to do so. “I want Cuba taken care of before I go,” Trump said in a radio interview. When moderator Hugh Hewitt asked whether he would accept a week-long military campaign, the US President replied: “I would definitely consider it.”

Trump had already brought up US military intervention in Cuba several times. In October, during an appearance before the upcoming US parliamentary election, he said that American warships could head to the Caribbean island on the way back from their mission in the Iran War and stop off its coast – the rulers in Cuba would then surrender.

The government of the socialist island state condemned the threats of military action and other US measures such as the oil blockade at the UN general debate in September.
