Washington. This Friday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that his nation could consider a «friendly takeover of Cuba» in the context of tensions with the island due to the energy embargo. “They have nothing at this moment, but they are in talks with us, and maybe we can carry out a friendly takeover of Cuba.” «We could achieve a transition in Cuba after years,» the president told the media at the White House before heading to Texas for a rally. The leader emphasised that Cuba is facing «difficulties» and that the United States has the capacity to carry out «beneficial» actions for Cubans in exile and those still living on the island. «Since my childhood, I have heard about Cuba.» «Everyone wanted a transformation, and I can notice that this is happening,» remarked Trump, who added that the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, «is in charge of the situation.» «As you know, they lack financial resources, they have no oil or food. Right now, it is a country in difficulties and they are seeking our assistance,» he stated.
