Donald Trump caused a diplomatic incident at the UN General Assembly by threatening Cuba, prompting the Cuban delegation to walk out of the hall. Trump told Cuban diplomats "you will fall" and called Cuba a "completely failed state," following his announcement that the US would use its "overwhelming military power" to pursue its interests. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly in negotiations with Cuba. The US has imposed sanctions on Cuba in recent months, worsening its economic and humanitarian crisis. Trump also threatened Iran, called the International Criminal Court "evil," and announced plans for two US military bases in Greenland.
