US President Donald Trump made these remarks in an interview with the Salem News Channel.
During the interview, Trump was asked whether he would order the use of military force if it were necessary to liberate Cuba before the end of his term in office.
“I want to sort out the Cuba issue before I leave. And we have a very good, talented person for Cuba called Marco,” Trump replied.
He was referring to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“Because Marco’s parents – Marco Rubio – are from Cuba, as you probably know. And he’d very much like to take this on,” the President explained.
“So we’re keeping a very close eye on it. Things are going very badly there. It’s essentially a failed, you know, place, country – call it what you will. It’s a failure,” said Trump.
“And, quite frankly, I’d like to do this for the people, for the Cubans who were treated very badly and came to America,” he added.
The presenter, Hugh Hewitt, then asked whether Trump would agree to a small-scale military campaign.
“I would, I would certainly consider it, yes,” replied the president.
