Trump suggests after Iran operations, Cuba is next

May 2, 2026, 01:18 GMT+1

President Donald Trump said on Friday Cuba would be next for the United States but he will finish Iran first and then change the focus.

"Cuba’s got problems. We’ll finish one. First, I like to finish a job. On the way back from Iran — what we’ll do on the way back from Iran — we’ll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world. We’ll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore, and they’ll say, thank you very much, we give up," Trump said.
