Trump says 'Cuba is next', denies losing MAGA support

WASHINGTON, Mar 28: US President Donald Trump said Friday "Cuba is next" in his latest threat against the Caribbean island, as he dismissed concerns that recent American military actions would cost him political support.

Cuba's communist government has faced mounting pressure from Trump, who imposed a de facto oil blockade in January and mused about "taking" the country.

Speaking at the Saudi-backed FII Priority investment forum in Miami, Trump said his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement wanted "strength" and "victory," citing the January raid where US forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

"I built this great military. I said, "You'll never have to use it," but sometimes you have to use it," Trump said.

"And Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn't say that."    �"AFP
