Former U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at which country could become the next focus of his foreign policy attention, only days after a series of military strikes were launched against Iran. Since February 28, the United States and Israel have carried out attacks on multiple locations inside Iran following the collapse of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program. The strikes significantly escalated tensions in the region and drew global attention.

Reports from the conflict suggested that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed during the fighting, leaving the country in the process of selecting new leadership. While the situation in Iran remains unsettled, Trump has already begun discussing the possibility of turning attention toward another country much closer to the United States.

During an appearance on CNN on Friday morning, Trump suggested that Cuba could soon face major political changes. According to his remarks, he believes the Cuban government may soon seek a deal with the United States. Trump stated that he believes the country “is going to fall pretty soon,” indicating that negotiations could happen in the near future.

Trump also mentioned that he may involve Senator Marco Rubio in handling potential discussions related to Cuba. He suggested that Cuban leaders are eager to reach an agreement after decades of strained relations between the two countries.

Relations between the United States and Cuba have been complex for many decades. The tensions date back to 1959 when Fidel Castro led a revolution that removed the U.S.-supported leader Fulgencio Batista from power. The relationship deteriorated further following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War.

Although relations briefly improved during the Obama administration when travel and trade restrictions were eased, Trump later reinstated stricter sanctions after taking office in 2017. Now in his second term, Trump has indicated that his administration may pursue an even tougher policy toward Cuba.
