Trump: US Could Carry Out ‘Friendly Takeover’ of Cuba

Friday, February 27, 2026

Donald Trump has suggested the US could carry out a "friendly takeover" of Cuba as tensions between Washington and Havana reach a new high following the capture of Venezuela's Nicols Maduro.

As he left the White House for a campaigning event in Texas on Friday, Trump said: "The Cuban government is talking with us. They're in a big deal of trouble."

"Trump on Friday said: "They have no money, they have no anything right now. But they're talking with us and maybe we'll have a friendly takeover of Cuba."

Trump's acquisitive language will provoke worries among Cubans that history is repeating itself: US financial domination of the Cuban economy was one of the main drivers of Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution."

Sounds like he's talking to his Wingman Jeffrey about some minor girl.

A news report from a weeks ago, citing anonymous sources in the White House, said Dummkopf Trumpf wants to change the regime in Havana.

This project is in the hands of Empty Suit USSECSTATE Marco Rubio.

That will give Rubio a jump on the hillbilly hypocrite JD Vance for 2028.

What accomplishments will JD Vance have, other than forcing Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance to convert to Christianity?
