Trump announces talks with 'failed' Cuba

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced talk with Cuba, which has been suffering under Washington's fuel blockade for months following the U.S. capture of Havana's ally Nicolas Maduro.

In a post on Truth Social he described the communist-ruled island as "a failed country," adding: "Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk!!!" He did not provide any details.

Earlier this month, Trump said the United States would be "taking over" the Caribbean island off the Florida coast "almost immediately."
