President Donald Trump made some comments regarding Cuba during a TPUSA event in Phoenix on Friday. <\/p>\n
Reiterating what he\u2019s been saying since the start of the year, Trump hinted that after the U.S. wraps up in Iran, his administration may shift its focus to change on the island. <\/p>\n
\u201cVery soon, this great strength will also bring about a day \u2014 70 years in the making. It\u2019s called a New Dawn for Cuba. We\u2019re going to help them out with Cuba,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe have a lot of great Cuban Americans. Not too many people in this audience, I don\u2019t think, but you go to Miami, we have Cuban Americans, people who were brutally treated, whose families were killed and brutalized. And now watch what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s comments came a day after Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel led a rally in the capital city of Havana to mark the 65th anniversary of Fidel Castro\u2019s declaration of Cuba\u2019s socialist revolution. <\/p>\n
During the event, Diaz-Canel said Cuba did not want a military confrontation with the U.S, but that his country is prepared to fight if it came to that. <\/p>\n
Since January, relations between the U.S. and Cuba have become more tense than at any other point since the end of the Cold War due to recent action by the U.S. that saw the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and an oil blockade that left Cuba without any fuel imports for the first three months of the year. <\/p>\n
