Trump Says Cuba May Or May Not Face A 'Friendly Takeover'

WASHINGTON, March 10  (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump said Monday that Cuba could face a possible “friendly takeover” by the United States, though it also “may not be friendly” as Washington increases pressure on the crisis-stricken island, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

Addressing a news conference in the state of Florida, Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio is holding talks with Cuba.

"He's dealing (with it), and it may be a friendly takeover, it may not be a friendly takeover. They have no energy, they have no money. They're in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis," he said.

"So yeah, they're going to make either a deal or we'll do it just as easy," he added.
