Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States “may move toward Cuba” after resolving the Iranian issue.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said many Cuban Americans have suffered “severe mistreatment,” and that some of their relatives were killed or beaten.

He described Cuba as a “failed and collapsed state,” noting that it has been under “poor management” for decades under the late communist leader Fidel Castro.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned Washington on Sunday against engaging in a military confrontation that could escalate tensions between the two countries.

He stated: “If that happens, there will be a war,” while emphasizing that Cuba does not want a military conflict.
