President Donald Trump says United States and Cuba will make a deal, no military action needed

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that the United States and Cuba will reach an agreement and that he does not think military action will be necessary. He said the US wants to help Cuba and open it up to Americans. This comes after the US imposed an oil blockade on Cuba, causing fuel shortages and blackouts. Trump's remarks follow a CBS News report about US military planning related to Cuba, though no deployment orders have been given.
