The United States is discussing a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, Donald Trump has said.
The US president said Washington was pursuing an amicable form of regime change in Havana, as sanctions continue to cripple the communist-run island.
Tensions between the US and Cuba have risen since Mr Trump imposed an oil siege on the island following the capture of Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, a key ally and oil supplier of Cuba, in January. He has threatened to impose tariffs on any country that exports oil to Cuba.
