US President Donald Trump’s latest comments on his government’s blockade on Cuba Monday evening amounted to “boasting of a war crime,” one journalist said after the president told the press that the Caribbean island is a “failed nation” weeks after Trump himself cut off Cuba’s main source of energy and threatened countries with tariffs if they provided the government with oil.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump listed some of the impacts of the blockade the White House imposed after invading Venezuela last month and pushing for control of its oil supply.
“They don’t even have jet fuel to get their airplanes to take off. They’re clogging up their runway. We’re talking to Cuba right now… and they should absolutely make a deal, because it’s really a humanitarian threat,” said the president. “There’s an embargo, there’s no oil, there’s no money, there’s no anything.”

The “president of peace” everyone.
President of piss
and shitting himself
If you think about it, its Norways fault for not pressuring the commité to give Trump the Nobel peace prize. As Trump said, lacking the Nobel prize forces him to no value peace above other considerations. /s
Not even his first war crime this week.
He’s creating the humanitarian threat and saying only he can fix it by “making a deal”. What a joke of a president and a gross representation of those who voted to have him into office.
“Deal.”
Mafioso shakedown.
Would be hilarious to see Europe conduct some “freedom of navigation” exercises to Cuba right now. Just sayin’.
Sucks how the world has abandoned Cuba almost completely,
That happened many decades ago
“Its a failed nation, thats why we need to blockade it”
If there was any justice in the world, america would be seen as ww2 germany
