Trump Leaves Door Open on Cuba
US President Donald Trump has not ruled out military action against Cuba before his second presidential term ends. He wants the long standing issue resolved while he is still in office.
“I want to solve the Cuba issue before I leave,” Trump said in an interview with journalist Hugh Hewitt. His comment signals that Cuba remains high on his foreign policy agenda.
A Short Campaign Is Still an Option
Trump also did not dismiss the idea of a brief military campaign against the island nation. He suggested it is a real possibility he would weigh seriously.
“I would certainly consider that option,” Trump said. The remark adds to his earlier comments from late October, when he said he expects the situation in Cuba to shift before his term runs out.
