Trump tells UN: Cuba is a failed state, freedom is coming

President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly that Cuba is a "failed state" and vowed that freedom will come to the communist-run island, prompting the Cuban delegation to stage a walkout during his speech. Trump said his administration is seeking fundamental change in Cuba, claiming the communist regime is under its greatest pressure ever and "will fall." He asserted that "communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba," while touting greater US involvement in the region. The US has maintained a trade embargo on Cuba for over 60 years, and Trump's administration has increased pressure on the country, including military action in January to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump previously called Cuba a failed nation in June.
