The President of the United States, Donald Trump, again predicted a swift downfall of Cuba and compared the ideology of the communist regime to that of the American Democratic Party, in a statement in which he also described the Island as a failed nation.
The President's words were made this Monday during an appearance before reporters in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington.
"Cuba is falling apart. It is a nation that is failing. It has an ideology very similar to that of the Democrats," Trump stated, drawing a direct comparison between the Cuban political system and the opposing party in the United States.
The president continued to describe the political model of the Island as a blend of communism and socialism.
“It is a communist nation, socialist, something like everything mixed into one,” he said.
Trump also spoke about Cuban Americans and asserted that they have suffered mistreatment.
At that point, he stated that he had received the electoral support of 94% of that community, a figure that corresponds solely to his claims, not to data presented by the president.
The leader assured that his administration is committed to helping the Cuban people.
“We will help them for humanitarian reasons; in fact, we are already helping them,” he stated, without specifying what assistance actions he was referring to.
When referring to the future of the Island, he added: «We'll see what happens. Cuba is going to be interesting. I imagine it will fall quite soon.»
The comparison with the Democrats is not a coincidence, as it comes just a few days after the legislative elections on November 3, in which that party gained majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress.
On the other hand, the new political landscape has raised questions about the continuation of Washington's pressure against the Cuban regime, although the Democrats will not assume control of Congress until January 2027.
Trump had already predicted at the end of October that the Cuban regime would not last much longer.
In an interview with journalist Benny Johnson, he asserted that there would be no Castro in power when his presidential term concluded in January 2029, and he pointed to Marco Rubio as a central figure in matters related to Cuba.
Most recently, last Friday, Trump stated that Rubio would take care of Cuba after working on an agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
During a conservative gathering held at Mar-a-Lago, he joked about the possibility of sending the Secretary of State by parachute to the Island to resolve the situation.
