Cuba wants help, and the United States will hold talks with the communist island nation, President Donald Trump announced in a Tuesday post on Truth Social.
He did not specify when those talks would take place.
“No Republican has ever spoken to me about Cuba, which is a failed country and only heading in one direction—down! Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk!!! In the meantime, I’m off to China!”Trump wrote in his post.
The president has made Cuba a focus of his second term, increasing pressure on Havana in the form of sanctions, an oil blockade, and repeated comments from himself and others in his administration about how Cuba is next after the U.S. military captured former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, a longtime ally of Cuba, in January.
As he left for his trip to China, Trump declined providing any further information to reporters at the White House.
“Cuba is not doing well. It’s a failed nation, and we’ll be talking about Cuba at the right time,” Trump said.
