Trump says Cuba 'next' after Iran war

HAMILTON, Canada

President Donald Trump said Friday that Cuba could be a future target of US action after Iran.

Trump pointed to what he described as the success of recent US military operations in Venezuela and Iran.

"I built this great military. I said, 'You'll never have to use it,' but sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba is next, by the way," Trump said at the Future Investment Initiative, a Saudi business conference.

"But pretend I didn't say that. Please, pretend I didn't. Please, please, please, media, please disregard that statement," he added.
