President Donald Trump floats ‚friendly takeover‘ of Cuba

President Donald Trump said there could be a „friendly takeover of Cuba,“ though did not go into specifics, while taking questions from reporters while departing the White House on Friday.

The comment came after being asked about a deadly confrontation off the coast of Cuba on Wednesday, in which Cuban officials said people on a U.S.-registered speedboat fired upon Cuban border troops in an alleged attempt to „carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes.“
