Florida Congressman Carlos Gimenez (R) asserts that Cuba is “next in line” to see major regime change at the hands of the U.S. and President Donald Trump.
After the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran, Gimenez argues that the Communist regime in Cuba is going to be the next domino to fall.
“You know, they should take heed of what President Trump said about Iran. They've said, Hey, you need to come to the negotiating table. He said the same thing about Cuba. If I were the Cuban leaders, I would take notice. This is a president of action, not just of words,” Rep. Gimenez said in a recent interview on FOX News.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez released a post on X, mourning the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Gimenez responded by writing that that's “the worst thing they could do.”
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the people, government, and President Dr. Massoud Pezeshkian for the assassination of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, extended to his family members,” President Díaz-Canel wrote on X. “In Cuba, he will be remembered as a distinguished statesman and leader of his people, who contributed to the development of friendly relations between Cuba and Iran.”
“Just 90 miles from our shores, there exists a dictatorship that defends and supports the terrorist regime in #Irán. The henchmen in Havana are more erratic than ever. At this moment, this course of action is the worst thing they could do,” Gimenez responded.
In a recent interview on CNN, the Congressman urged Cuba to negotiate with the U.S. and Trump, commenting how the U.S. president is not only a man of words but a man of action, and that failure to negotiate with the U.S. would only end poorly for Havana.
“I think the president has already told, you know, the Cuban regime, the dictatorship, that they should negotiate," Gimenez said. "If I were the Cuban regime, I would take him seriously. The president is a man of action. He says words, but he backs them up with action. So if I were the Cuban regime, I'd take it seriously and maybe come to the table.”
