Trump: Once we've sorted out Iran, we'll go to Cuba - Castro ran it very poorly.

US President Donald Trump said that after pressure on Iran ends, the United States can focus on Cuba.
According to him, the naval blockade of Iran is working effectively: the country's trade is paralyzed, and ships associated with Iranian supplies are not allowed through.
Trump, traditionally full of self-confidence:
There's nothing they can do now, and we can easily preserve it. We'll deal with it, and maybe after we've dealt with Iran, we'll go to Cuba. Cuba is a country that Castro ruled terribly for many years.
Trump noted that Cuba is already weakened by the current US embargo and the cutoff of oil supplies. He did not rule out either a harsher tightening of sanctions or negotiations for regime change with the support of the Cuban diaspora in the United States. It should be noted that the de facto leader of this diaspora is Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.
The statement came against the backdrop of what the White House called successful actions against Iran and Venezuela.
Experts view this rhetoric as a continuation of the "peace through strength" policy. Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating currently stands at no more than 38%. A record 61% of Americans disapprove of his performance as president, the highest since the start of his second term. Judging by their assessments, they are particularly concerned about Trump's strategy, which allows companies linked to his family to generate excess profits amid rising fuel prices.
