Trump calls Cuba a failed nation and questions its future viability (VIDEO)

President Donald Trump once again addressed the situation in Cuba, rejecting the idea that his policy toward the island could be described as an attempt to “strangle” it and arguing instead that the real problem lies in the Cuban regime’s structural failure. “I don’t know, the word ‘strangle’ is terribly harsh,” he said, while describing Cuba as “a failed nation.”

Trump stated that the situation in the Caribbean country should inspire compassion not for its government, but for its people.
