Donald Trump has once again placed Cuba at the center of his foreign policy. This Monday, March 16, while aboard Air Force One, the President of the United States warned that his administration expects concrete and rapid results from current talks with the Havana government. “We either reach a deal or we’ll do what we have to do,” Trump stated, escalating the tone of negotiations.

An ultimatum from the air

On board the presidential aircraft, Trump responded to journalists regarding recent progress in bilateral talks, which include Vatican-mediated efforts for the release of political prisoners. While he acknowledged that “something is going to happen with Cuba quite soon,” his message made it clear that Washington’s patience is thinning.

The President insisted that the goal is an agreement that guarantees a change of course on the island, directly linking Cuba’s economic stability to compliance with conditions imposed by the United States. “We’re talking to Cuba,” he added, suggesting that the coming weeks will be decisive.
