Trump signals possible Cuba opening, says U.S. will talk and he is heading to China
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: Marty Makary for having done a great job at the FDA. So much was accomplished under his leadership.
He was a hard worker, who was respected by all, and will go on to have an outstanding career in Medicine. Kyle Diamantas, a very talented person, will be put in the Acting position." - "No Republican has ever spoken to me about Cuba, which is a failed country and only heading in one direction - down!
Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk!!! In the meantime, I'm off to China!" - "The Failing New York Times, which is one of the worst newspapers anywhere in the World, and is losing subscribers on an hourly basis, is now at it again.
Just like they covered my Landslide 2024 Presidential Election Victory inaccurately, and without shame, constantly making major mistakes and incorrect predictions at every path along the way, they are now trying to justify Obama and Biden's expensively botched attempt at fixing the long broken, unsightly, and unsanitary Reflecting Pool that NOW sits majestically between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. They squandered at least 55 Million Dollars haplessly trying, with no chance of success, to get the Reflecting Pool to work.
Instead, they made it worse, keeping it closed for years, and ending up with a leaking, smelling, ode to both of their failed Administrations. It was an embarrassment to Washington, D.
Despite the vast sums of money spent, they never got the pool to work, and cosmetically it was a total mess for all to see. Now, along comes "TRUMP, " who is asked by many patriots if I can fix it.
The answer is a resounding, YES, and for a "tiny" fraction of the cost! I worked with our now strong Department of the Interior and explained to them that we should view this as a highly sophisticated swimming pool, not the leaking, dilapidated facade, joints and all, of a building.
Instead of taking 4 years to build, at a cost, granite pavers and all, of 400 Million Dollars, we could construct a far superior Reflecting Pool for 5 or 6 Million Dollars, and could complete the project in 2 weeks rather than 4 years. What a difference in time and money, and for a far superior end result!
This is not just a paint job, like lowlife "reporter, " David Fahrenthold, of the NYT so inaccurately and maliciously stated, it is a deeply complicated work of smart and beautiful construction. It won't leak, it will shine, and be the pride of Washington D.
I saved more than 390 Million Dollars, and 4 years of no "mess, " and was, of course, given no credit by the biased New York Times. Also, I didn't give out the contract, "Interior" did, to a contractor I did not know, and have never used before.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Explanation:
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: Marty Makary for having done a great job at the FDA. So much was accomplished under his leadership.
He was a hard worker, who was respected by all, and will go on to have an outstanding career in Medicine. Kyle Diamantas, a very talented person, will be put in the Acting position." - "No Republican has ever spoken to me about Cuba, which is a failed country and only heading in one direction - down!
Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk!!! In the meantime, I'm off to China!" - "The Failing New York Times, which is one of the worst newspapers anywhere in the World, and is losing subscribers on an hourly basis, is now at it again..." The Cuba post is the key geopolitical signal because it suggests the White House is preparing to engage Havana directly, with Trump explicitly saying Cuba is asking for help and that "we are going to talk." That is notable because U.S.-Cuba relations have been tightly constrained for decades by sanctions, embargo policy, and recurring political resistance in Washington, with limited thaw under Obama later reversed in large part under Trump's first-term approach.
Even as the post is vague, any opening for talks could affect sanctions expectations, migration pressure, regional diplomacy, and business sentiment tied to Caribbean trade and travel. The added line, "I'm off to China, " also matters because it points to a broader foreign-policy frame, but the post does not specify any meeting or agenda.
Historically, U.S.-China outreach and Cuba policy have often moved separately, yet both can shape market and geopolitical risk if they signal a more transactional diplomatic posture. At this stage the market impact is mostly signaling, not policy implementation, but the post raises the odds of a near-term Cuba message, a sanctions-related review, or a bilateral contact that could surprise regional partners and Cuba-watchers.
