So starting off tonight from the Hill, Trump floats friendly takeover of Cuba.
President Trump on Friday suggested the U.S.
could carry out a friendly takeover of Cuba as the president has used a fuel blockade to increase the pressure on the communist regime in Havana.
Trump imposed a fuel blockade on the island in an executive order at the end of January in a push to collapse the regime, which relies heavily on energy and food imports.
The United Nations top official for Cuba warned on Wednesday that daily life on the island is becoming fragile with increased strains on health care, water services, and food distribution.
officials reportedly met Thursday with the grandson of 94-year-old former President Raul Castro, considered the de facto leader of the totalitarian regime, on the sidelines of a conference in the Caribbean attended by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Marco Rubio has got to be excited about this.
You know, with with his Cuban heritage, he's had pretty critical words for Cuba.
Most I think most presidents generally are fairly critical, except for maybe Barack Obama.
But, you know, considering the history that the United States and Cuba has, what do you guys think the chances of actual of Cuba becoming a territory are?
Would Cuba becoming a territory of the United States count as change?
Do we have Greenland yet?
You guys paid more attention to politics than me.
