"Cuba’s got problems. We’ll finish one first. I like to finish a job," the president told the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches.

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.

While the president’s comments appeared partly joking, they followed concrete policy action in the form of broadened sanctions.

    Result is the US is not coming and any change has to happen inside the country.

    And the Cuban people overall like their government. Any pressing issues are wholly the fault of the USA, as far as can be assessed.

      No they don’t lmao. Only the old generations still alive after the Revolution when they kicked out the USA are still die-hards. Most of the younger to middle aged people in general hate the Cuban government. How couldn’t they? They live the life while regular ppl have nothing due to the horrible sanctions by the USA. You don’t win hearts and minds with poverty, hunger, disease and death.

      In regards to the sanctions: that’s a crime against humanity for an island like Cuba.
