Donald Trump has predicted the downfall of Cuba while also unleashing his fury on Ukraine in a blistering attack. In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump dismissed fears aboiut the impact of the Iran war on gas prices and US ammunition reserves, insisting a military onslaught is what most voters want. This is despite many recent public polls showing the opposite is actually true.
In a call with Politico on Thursday, the US President insisted: "People are loving what’s happening." However, in Mr Trump eyes, Iran's government may not be the last to fall, after he also said: Cuba’s going to fall, too. We cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal." In reponse to a question about whether the US was acting as a key influence in the demise of the Cuban government, he replied: “Well, what do you think? For 50 years, that’s icing on the cake. Venezuela is doing fantastically. [Delcy Rodríguez] is doing a fantastic job. The relationship with them is great."

Mr Trump also suggested the Cuba's worsening situation is partly because oif pressure from the US, such as cutting off the Venezuelan oil supplie.
He said: "Well, it’s because of my intervention, intervention that is happening.
"Obviously, otherwise they wouldn’t have this problem. We cut off all oil, all money, … everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source."
The US President added: "How long have you been hearing about Cuba — Cuba, Cuba — for 50 years? And that’s one of the small ones for me."
The US President said he's expecting President Zelensky "to get a deal done" while adding "I think Putin is ready to make a deal".

Back in December, President Trump said he had a "good and very productive telephone call" with the Russian leader minutes before Ukraine meeting with Mr Zelensky.
The Ukrainian President has continued to resist Russian demands that Ukraine gives up two of its eastern regions - Luhansk and Donetsk, while Russia appeared likely to object to a role for NATO forces in monitoring a ceasefire, which European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have said must form part of any deal.
