Trump: Cuba ‘is gonna fall pretty soon … they want to make a deal’

President Trump claimed Friday that the Communist dictatorship on the island of Cuba is on its last legs.

“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too,” the president told CNN host Dana Bash in a phone interview.

“They want to make a deal so badly. They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one [Iran] right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years.

“I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap — because of me, it’s fallen — but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well.”
