President Donald Trump said Monday he believes he will have the “honor of taking Cuba.”
“I do believe I’ll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That’s a big honor, taking Cuba in some form,” Trump told reporters at the White House during an executive order signing. “Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.”
