Trump Indicates Rubio Will Take Lead On Reengaging With Cuba

President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that the United States was moving toward reengaging with the Cuban government after earlier stating the regime there was on its last legs, adding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio—who is of Cuban descent—would take the lead in the effort.

“With respect to Cuba, you said that Cuba wants to make a deal,” a reporter said to Trump.

“Yes,” the president responded.

“What would the United States get in return for that? And why should Americans trust Marco Rubio to negotiate it?” the reporter asked.

“Well, Marco Rubio is doing a great job. I think he‘s going to go down as the greatest Secretary of State in history. Look at what we‘ve done as a presidency. Look at what we‘ve done as an administration. They trust Marco and so do the American people… He‘s been successful no matter where he‘s been,” Trump said.
