US President Donald Trump reiterated that he is dissatisfied with the latest US‑Iran nuclear negotiations in Geneva, saying Tehran is “not willing to give us what we have to have” and stressing that Iran “cannot have nuclear weapons.” He maintained that the United States prefers diplomacy but acknowledged that military force “sometimes… you have to” use it, leaving the possibility of action open amid stalled talks.
Turning to Cuba, Trump suggested the US could pursue a “friendly takeover” of the island, claiming the Cuban government “have no money, they have no anything right now” and that Havana is in “big trouble,” while saying discussions are underway. He argued such a shift “could very well” be “something good… very positive” for Cuban Americans wanting to return, though details remain unclear.
The United States military has amassed one of its largest regional deployments in the Middle East since 2003 amid US‑Iran nuclear talks and warnings from countries including China about possible conflict. Washington has repositioned aircraft carriers, stealth fighters and refuellers closer to Iran, prompting embassy evacuations and heightening fears of hostilities as negotiations seek to resume.
Off Cuba’s northern coast, an armed confrontation involving a Florida‑registered speedboat carrying 10 people ended with Cuban forces killing four and injuring six after the vessel allegedly opened fire on border guards. Cuban authorities said those aboard intended an “armed infiltration,” while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is seeking independent verification of the incident. At least one US citizen was reported among the dead. The episode adds fresh tension to already fraught US‑Cuba relations, with inquiries ongoing.
