U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to set his sights on Cuba early Sunday morning, sharing multiple posts and graphics on his Truth Social account. The images and messages hinted at Cuba as a potential focus for Trump, alongside ongoing attention to Greenland and Iran.
Trump reposted content from conservative commentator Marc Thiessen, who suggested, “The Cuban regime has survived every president since Eisenhower. Wouldn’t it be something if that streak ended with Donald Trump?”
In addition, Trump shared an AI-generated image of himself smoking a Cuban cigar and a post encouraging him to make Senator Marco Rubio the “president of Cuba.” Trump responded enthusiastically, writing, “Sounds good to me!”
The posts reflect a pattern of Trump using social media to telegraph intentions or signal areas of interest. While largely symbolic, these posts have stirred discussion about his foreign policy priorities, especially given his previous comments on Greenland and Iran.
Analysts note that Trump’s Cuba focus aligns with long-standing Republican criticism of the island’s communist government, as well as with broader strategic interests in the Caribbean. However, no formal policy or military actions have been announced, leaving the posts open to interpretation as political messaging rather than concrete plans.
As Trump continues to use social media to hint at potential foreign initiatives, the attention to Cuba underscores his interest in projecting a tough stance on longstanding U.S. adversaries.
