Cuba 'is gonna fall pretty soon ... They want to make a deal'

On Friday, President Trump asserted that Cuba’s communist regime is nearing its end.

In a phone interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, he stated, “Cuba is going to fall soon. It’s unrelated, but Cuba is going to fall too.”

The president suggested that Cuba is eager to negotiate. “They are very keen on making a deal,” he said. “I’m planning to involve Marco Rubio in this, and we’ll see how that progresses. Right now, our main focus is on Iran, but we have plenty of time. After 50 years, Cuba is finally ready.”
