Trump Threatens to Send US Ship to Cuba's Coast in Joke about Surrender

Donald Trump on Cuba: US President Donald Trump on Friday joked that the US Navy will take on Cuba on its way home from Iran. In his speech in front of the non-profit forum Club of the Palm Beaches at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Trump said, "There are some problems in Cuba." Trump added, "On our way back from Iran, we will send one of our big ships there, probably the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, which is the largest ship in the world. That ship will stop about 100 yards off the coast and they will say,'Thank you very much. We give up.'The Trump administration has been running a campaign to pressure the Cuban government to make major reforms over the past several months. During this time, Trump has repeatedly threatened that the United States could take military action against the island to meet his demands. Officials told the Washington Hill on Wednesday that the first time after such a dinner at the White House, Trump tried to assassinate the president.
