Cuban delegation walks out as Trump pledges 'freedom will be coming' to Cuba

Trump called Cuba a failed state and vowed regime change at the UN; Havana's representatives left during his address.

What to know

  • Trump declared at the UN that Cuba is a failed state and vowed that "freedom will be coming to Cuba," signaling his administration's intent to push for regime change.
  • The Cuban delegation walked out of the General Assembly in protest during his remarks.
  • Trump is backed by hardline Cuban-American voters in Florida who have long sought U.S.-backed regime change; his administration has already escalated pressure on Cuba and used military force against Venezuela in January.

“My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure—the biggest pressure they've ever been under.”
