U.S. President Donald Trump has said it would be a "great honor" for him to "take Cuba." He said this amid tensions between the two countries over the energy blockade on the island.
"Taking Cuba would be a great honor. Taking Cuba, taking Cuba somehow, yes.
Trump has reiterated that his administration is in talks with the Cuban authorities and has described the island as "a failed nation." They have no money, they have no oil, they have nothing. "
"They have good land. They have beautiful landscapes. It's a beautiful island," said the Republican, who also said he has Cuban friends who got rich in the United States.
In recent weeks, the Republican president has threatened to take control of the island in a "friendly" or hostile manner, and has reiterated that the Havana government "will soon fall" because the country is "on the verge of collapse."
Last week, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said talks with the US to "seek solutions through dialogue."
Cuba began the week with another national blackout, the sixth in the last 18 months, which has been exacerbated by the oil blockade imposed in the last three months and which is slowing the economy and increasing social unrest.
