Trump Says He Wants to Finish in Iran Before Turning to Cuba

Trump prioritizes resolving the Iran conflict before pursuing a Cuba deal amid Cuba's severe economic crisis and ongoing talks, officials said.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump said, 'We're talking to Cuba, but we're going to do Iran before Cuba,' indicating he will address the Iran conflict before a Cuba deal.
  • Fuel disruptions have forced rolling outages, prompting talks as Miguel Díaz-Canel, President of Cuba, said on Friday they seek to move 'away from confrontation'.
  • Early Saturday, protesters in Morón threw rocks and set fire to a local communist party office; five were arrested and one is hospitalized, the state-run Granma newspaper reported.
  • Tensions remain elevated between Washington and Havana after years of sanctions, with U.S. officials saying easing would likely require political and economic concessions while regional allies watch closely.
  • In recent weeks Trump said Cuba was on the verge of collapse and on Monday warned of a possible 'friendly takeover', adding the U.S. could soon reach a deal or take other action.
