The communist regime in Cuba may soon face a reckoning as President Donald Trump signals that the island’s leadership is quietly scrambling for negotiations after America’s recent displays of strength abroad.
During an appearance with the championship Inter Miami CF organization, Trump delivered a striking message while addressing team co-owner Jose Mas, whose family emigrated from Cuba.
The president suggested that one day Cuban exiles may soon be able to freely return to their homeland, without restrictions from Washington.
Trump suggested that a historic moment could soon arrive for Cuban exiles.
“Congratulations as well to co-owners Jorge and José Mas. Who came from Cuba, right? Originally from Cuba? Your parents came. You’re going to go back. And you won’t need my approval. You just fly back in. I can just see that. It’s going to be a great day, right?” Trump said.
The president continued, hinting that dramatic developments involving the communist island may be just weeks away.
“We’re going to celebrate that separately. I just wanted to wait a couple of weeks… but we’ll be together again soon, I suspect, celebrating what’s going on in Cuba. They want to make a deal so badly. You have no idea.”
WATCH:
The comments come amid rapidly escalating geopolitical pressure on authoritarian regimes aligned against the United States.
Earlier in the day, Trump made headlines when he told reporters that Cuba could be next to collapse following recent U.S. operations targeting hostile regimes in the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East.
“Cuba’s going to fall, too,” Trump told Politico while discussing the growing pressure on Havana.
“We cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal,” he said.
More from Politico:
Asked whether the United States was playing a role in the Cuban government’s demise, Trump responded: “Well, what do you think? For 50 years, that’s icing on the cake. Venezuela is doing fantastically. [Delcy Rodríguez] is doing a fantastic job. The relationship with them is great.”
Trump also confirmed the United States is in touch with Cuba’s communist leadership as instability on the island intensifies following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
“They need help. We are talking to Cuba,” Trump said.
And he suggested the island’s worsening situation is partly the result of U.S. pressure, including cutting off the Venezuelan oil supplies that once sustained Havana.
“Well, it’s because of my intervention, intervention that is happening,” Trump said. “Obviously, otherwise they wouldn’t have this problem. We cut off all oil, all money, … everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source.”
“How long have you been hearing about Cuba — Cuba, Cuba — for 50 years?” Trump added. “And that’s one of the small ones for me.”
According to the president, the Cuban government is now in a desperate position after losing crucial economic lifelines and facing mounting internal instability.
Trump has previously revealed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, himself the son of Cuban immigrants, is already handling the situation at the highest levels.
“Marco Rubio is dealing with Cuba at a very high level,” Trump said, suggesting negotiations with Havana are underway.
