flag Trump hints at peaceful U.S. takeover of Cuba amid economic crisis and recent deadly incident.

flag President Donald Trump hinted at a potential "friendly takeover" of Cuba during a February 27, 2026, press briefing, saying the U.S. is in high-level talks with Cuban officials over the island's economic collapse. flag He cited Secretary of State Marco Rubio leading discussions and suggested a peaceful transfer of control could occur, though he provided no details. flag The remarks followed a shooting incident involving a Florida-registered speedboat carrying 10 Cubans near Cuba’s north coast, resulting in four deaths and six injuries, which U.S. and Cuban authorities are investigating. flag Trump also referenced the recent removal of Venezuela’s leader, a Cuba ally, as reducing the need for military action. flag The U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, in place since 1962, remains unchanged.
