Trump says US will 'take care of Cuba' after Iran, sending Rubio to finalize deal
US President Donald Trump said Friday he will address Cuba after dealing with Iran, and will send Secretary of State Marco Rubio to finalize an agreement with Havana. He made the remarks during a rally in Florida. Trump previously predicted last month that Washington and Havana would reach a deal without needing military action. His administration has stated its goal is to promote change in Cuba's communist government, while a US oil blockade imposed earlier this year has caused fuel shortages and blackouts on the island. The US has maintained an embargo against Cuba for over 60 years, with Trump's administration intensifying pressure on Havana. This follows a US military operation in January that captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during a raid that left casualties.
