Trump Suggests Marco Rubio Could Be Next President of Cuba

Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to share a post suggesting that Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State with Cuban roots, could potentially become the next president of Cuba.

Details of the Post

The original message, dated January 8, was posted by an individual named Cliff Smith, who stated:
"Marco Rubio will become the president of Cuba"
Accompanied by a laughing emoji, Trump reposted it with the comment:
"Sounds good to me!"
It is worth noting that Smith is not a widely recognized figure and describes himself as a conservative from California, with fewer than 500 followers.

Trump's Statements on Cuba

Earlier that day, Trump urged Cuba to negotiate with the United States, warning that it would no longer receive oil or financial support. He stated on his platform:
"No more oil or money for Cuba - zero! I strongly suggest they reach an agreement before it's too late."
He emphasized that Cuba relies on oil and funds from Venezuela in exchange for security services for the Venezuelan regime, which he claimed is no longer necessary as Venezuela is now protected by what he described as "the most powerful army in the world."
