Trump at UN: Cuba's Communist Government Will Fall
President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that Cuba's communist government will fall under unprecedented US pressure, calling it a completely failed nation. The Cuban delegation walked out during his speech. Trump said his administration is targeting fundamental change in Cuba, noting Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in deep discussions about the country. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez led the Cuban walkout, following a similar exit by Iran's delegation after Trump's remarks about Iran. The US has maintained a trade embargo against Cuba for over 60 years. Washington has intensified pressure on Cuba since January's military action against Venezuela's president, with Trump enjoying strong support from Cuban-Americans advocating regime change.
