00:00We're starting to talk to Cuba, you know?
00:02We're starting to talk to Cuba.
00:03Look, they need help on a humanitarian basis.
00:06We're starting to talk to Cuba.
00:08Don't forget, a lot of people that live in our country
00:10are treated very badly by Cuba.
00:12And we want them to be — they all voted for me,
00:15and we want them to be treated well.
00:17We'd like to be able to have them go back home to their country,
00:20which they haven't seen their family, their country,
00:23for many, many decades.
00:25So we'll work that — I'll be able to work that out.
00:29Yes.
00:30Do you understand your response to Claude Jainon's warning
00:32that the embargo or the restriction on Cuban oil —
00:35oil to Cuba — could cause a humanitarian crisis there?
00:38Well, it doesn't have to be a humanitarian crisis.
00:41I think they probably would come to us and want to make a deal.
00:45So Cuba would be free again.
00:47They'll come to us. They'll make a deal.
00:49But Cuba really — they've got a problem, you know?
00:53They have a problem.
00:54I know so many people from Cuba.
00:56But we have a lot of people in the United States right now
00:58that would love to go back to Cuba.
01:00And we'd like to work that out.
01:02What do you want to see from Cuba?
01:03I mean, what do you need to see —
01:04Well, we'll work a deal.
01:05I think we're going to work a deal with Cuba.
01:07I think, you know, we'll be kind.
01:09We have a situation that's very bad for Cuba.
01:12They have no money. They have no oil.
01:14The Venezuelan — they lived off Venezuelan money and oil.
01:19And none of that's coming now.
01:21And then the president of Mexico, President Chaiba, was very good.
01:26I said, look, we don't want you sending oil there.
01:29Then she's not sending oil.
01:30The Venezuelan is sending oil.
01:32Thank you, sir.
01:33Just for the time of the Doesn'tciamo Center.
01:34It might be.
01:35The Venezuelan's will need oil.
01:36Then it's still running off.
01:37The Holy Spirit, hopefully.
01:38The Venezuelan, we're taking a look.
01:39The United States will take a look.
01:40The United States will take a look.
01:40But we are in a white couleur.
01:42The United States will take a look.
01:43We're in a white couleur on a white area.
01:44We're in a white church.
01:45The United States will take a look.
01:46I'm not a white turkey.
01:47No, we're wearing a white psychologically.
01:48The United States will take a look.
