Donald Trump said Thursday he wants to finish the job on Cuba before his time in the White House runs out — and he didn't rule out force to do it. In an interview with Salem News Channel, the US president said he would 'certainly consider' military action against the island.
Trump framed the country as a basket case. 'We are watching it very closely, it's doing very poorly. It's essentially a failed, you know, place, nation, whatever you wanna call it,' he said.
He tied the ambition to the Cubans who left for the United States, saying he would 'love to be able to do it' for people he described as 'treated really badly.' The remarks came in the same interview in which he floated the military option.
