We want to finish Iran first: Trump says Cuba next 'just a question of time'

US President Donald Trump said his administration intends to finish the war in Iran before turning its attention to Cuba, suggesting a shift in US foreign policy priorities once the conflict in the Middle East concludes.

Speaking at the White House during an event celebrating the Major League Soccer champions Inter Miami CF, Trump said resolving the conflict with Iran remains the immediate focus.

“We want to finish this one first,” Trump said, referring to the war with Iran. “But that will be just a question of time before you and a lot of unbelievable people are going to be going back to Cuba.”

The president suggested Havana is eager to negotiate with Washington.

“Cuba wants to make a deal so badly,” he said, adding that many Cuban Americans would eventually return to the island. “We want you back, and we don’t want to lose you.”
