Trump Threatens ‘Friendly’ Takeover of American Neighbor

President Donald Trump has warned that he could launch a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, paving the way for another foreign intervention by an “America First” president. The president floated the idea on Friday, as the Caribbean island nation faces its worst economic collapse in years, noting that he has heard about Cuba’s woes since he was a child. “The Cuban government is talking to us and they are in big trouble,” he told reporters as he left the White House for a speech in Texas.
