“They want to make a deal so badly. You have no idea,” Trump said of the island’s communist government.

Referring to a co-owner of Inter Miami being originally from Cuba, Trump said, “You’re gonna go back: and added, “That’s going to be a great day, right?”

Without providing details, Trump added, “We’re going to celebrate that separately. I just want to wait a couple of weeks. I want him to wait a couple of weeks. But we’ll be together again soon, I suspect, celebrating what’s going on in Cuba.”

Then, referring to Marco Rubio, the president said the secretary of state wants to work on Cuba but is cautious to do so amid the war in Iran.

“Your next one’s is going to be — we want to do that special — Cuba,” Trump said. “He’s waiting. But he says, “Let’s get this one finished first.’ We could do them all at the same time. But bad things happen. If you watch countries over the years, you do them all too fast, bad things happen.”
