U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham assured this Sunday that the Cuban regime has its days numbered.
“Cuba is next. This communist dictatorship in Cuba has its days numbered,” said Graham in an interview with Fox News.
The Republican, one of Trump's closest allies in the Senate, compared the president to Ronald Reagan, stating that Trump will finish the work that Reagan was unable to complete.
“We have the opportunity not only to take down the mother ship of terrorism, Iran. We also have the chance to eliminate one of the deadliest allies in the Middle East, Hezbollah,” Graham said, referring to the U.S. attack on Iran, which eliminated the highest-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic, including Ayatollah Khamenei.
"Mr. President, do it. And do it now. They are weak. We can eliminate them, and we must do so," he added.
This is not the first time Graham has predicted the end of the regime in Havana. In January, the senator from South Carolina wrote on X: “My advice to the communists ruling Cuba and oppressing their people: call Maduro and ask him what to do… If you can get in touch, of course. If I were you, I would be looking for a new place to live.”
Last week, Trump stated that his administration will initiate a "friendly and controlled takeover" of Cuba, in remarks attributed to an exchange with journalists at the White House.
The information was shared by correspondent David Alandete, who reported on his X profile the president's remark about a “friendly and controlled takeover” of the island.
According to reports, Trump used the phrase “friendly and controlled takeover” to refer to the approach his administration will take regarding Cuba, although the specific details of this initiative have not yet been publicly outlined.
