President Trump on Friday suggested a “friendly takeover” of Cuba could be underway as his administration squeezes the Cuban government with an oil blockade. While speaking to reporters as he departed the White House to deliver remarks on energy in Corpus Christi, Texas, Trump floated the idea of a takeover.“Maybe we’ll have a friendly takeover of Cuba,” Trump said. “We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba.”“They’re in big trouble,” Trump continued. “You know, we have people living here that want to go back to Cuba, and they’re very happy with what’s going on.”WATCH:Trump: No money, they have no anything right now, but they’re talking with us, and maybe we’ll have a friendly takeover of Cuba. We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba. After many, many years, we’ve had a lot of years of dealing with Cuba, I’ve been hearing about Cuba since I’m a little boy.But they’re in big trouble, and we could very well– something could, I think, very positive for the people that were expelled or worse from Cuba that live here. You know, we have people living here that want to go back to Cuba, and they’re very happy with what’s going on.!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v746kws","div":"rumble_v746kws"});As The Gateway Pundit reported, last month, Trump signed an executive order to declare a national emergency and establish a tariff system to levy tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba.The order points to Cuba’s “extraordinary actions that harm and threaten the United States” and alignment with US adversaries.After signing the order, Trump described Cuba as “a failed nation” that “will not be able to survive.”This came after numerous threats against Cuba, and reports suggesting that Cuba could be Trump’s next target for regime change following the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro last month.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also suggested that Cuba will face the same fate as Venezuela, saying the Cuban regime is “in a lot of trouble.”Trump Signs Executive Order Declaring National Emergency to Address Threats from Cuba, Threatens Tariffs on Countries Giving Oil to Cuba – Calls Cuba a “Failing Nation” (VIDEO)/*!
