President Trump says he wants to “get Cuba done” before he leaves office, adding that the administration is “watching it very closely” because, in his view, Cuba is “doing very poorly.” He makes the comments in an interview responding to questions about whether he would order military action to change Cuba’s situation.
Several outlets frame the remarks as indicating openness to using force, with one describing readiness to “unleash” the military. Another adds more political context, saying Trump would like to complete this goal before his second term ends and referring to his mention of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and earlier comments about “taking” Cuba.
Across coverage, the core agreed point is that Trump links Cuba to a timeline tied to his time in office and suggests the administration is closely monitoring developments, while the level of emphasis on military intervention varies by outlet.
