00:00Meanwhile, the United States President Donald Trump renewed on Friday its threats against
00:05Cuba warning Washington could do what he referred to as a friendly takeover of the island.
00:11The remarks come as the US maintains its fuel blockade on oil exports to Havana.
00:18The measures describe as a pressure tactic to promote regime change and further stifle
00:24Cuba's economy, struggling after decades of US sanctions, continues to be denounced by
00:29several social, political and humanitarian organizations.
00:33In this context, Trump threatened to take over the nation and assure his administration
00:38is holding talks with the Cuban government, a statement that has been dismissed in the
00:43past by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
00:46Trump's statements, which also happened days after Cuban authorities foiled a terrorist incursion
00:51attempt by a US registered vessel, joined a long list of direct threats and hostile remarks
00:58issued against Havana during Trump's second term, evidencing his hard-line foreign policy
01:03toward the island.
01:07The Cuban government is talking with us, and they're in a big deal of trouble as you know.
01:13They have no money, they have no anything right now, but they're talking with us, and maybe
01:19we will have a friendly takeover of Cuba.
