АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Кубад богино хугацааны цэргийн ажиллагаа явуулахыг үгүйсгээгүй бөгөөд Ирантай хийх хэлэлцээг зогсоох чиглэл өгчээ.
Трамп “The Hugh Hewitt Show” нэвтрүүлэгт өгсөн ярилцлагадаа бүрэн эрхийн хугацаа дуусахаас өмнө Кубын асуудлыг шийдэх хүсэлтэйгээ хэлж, тус улсын эсрэг долоо хоногийн хугацаатай хязгаарлагдмал цэргийн ажиллагаа явуулах эсэхийг “мэдээж авч үзнэ” гэжээ. Тэрбээр Кубыг “бүтэлгүйтсэн” улс хэмээн тодорхойлж, Төрийн нарийн бичгийн дарга Марко Рубиогийн эцэг, эх Кубаас гаралтайг онцолсон байна. Мөн Флорида дахь куба гаралтай сонгогчдын дунд өөрийн дэмжлэг өндөр байсан гэж мэдэгджээ.
Энэ мэдэгдэл АНУ, Израйл хоёр хоёрдугаар сарын 28-нд Иранд цохилт өгснөөр эхэлсэн дайны талаарх Вашингтоны байр суурь өөрчлөгдөж буй үед гарлаа. Трамп пүрэв гарагт Truth Social сүлжээнд дэд ерөнхийлөгч Ж.Д.Вэнсэд Тегерантай хийх дипломат хэлэлцээг зогсоож, Ардчилсан намын удирдлагатай муж, хотуудад гарсан гэх луйврын хэргийг шалгахад анхаарахыг даалгаснаа бичсэн байна. Тэрбээр Ирантай тохиролцоо хийх шаардлагагүй гэж мэдэгджээ.
Вэнс хэдэн сарын турш гал зогсоох, цөмийн хэлэлцээг сэргээх зорилготой АНУ-ын багийг ахалж байсан бөгөөд Ираны аюулгүй байдлын өндөр албан тушаалтан Мохсен Резаи-тай шууд яриа хэлэлцээ хийх боломжийг саяхан судалж байв. Харин Рубио мягмар гарагт Парист “Их долоо”-гийн төлөөлөгчдөд Трамп Иранд томоохон цохилт өгөх, эсвэл дипломат тохиролцоо хийхийн оронд тусгаарлах бодлого баримтлахаар шийдсэнийг хэлжээ. АНУ Ираны гал зогсоох саналыг хэд хэдэн удаа няцаасан байна.
Трамп даваа гарагт Ираны дайн “үндсэндээ дууссан” гэж хэлсэн ч Ормузын хоолойд тэнгисийн цэргийн бүслэлтээ үргэлжлүүлэхээр төлөвлөж буй. Энэ долоо хоногт Ираны Кешм аралд АНУ цохилт өгсөн тухай Ираны төрийн хэвлэл мэдээлсэн бөгөөд үүнээс өмнө Иран булангийн усан дахь танкеруудад халдсан гэжээ. Шатахууны үнэ өссөн нь Бүгд найрамдахчуудын Конгресс дахь хяналтаа алдахад нөлөөлсөн хүчин зүйлсийн нэг гэж үзэж байгаа бол Вэнс өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт намын сонгуулийн ялагдлыг Ираны дайнтай холбон тайлбарласан байна.

President Donald Trump said he would consider ordering a military campaign against Cuba before the end of his term, even as his administration pulls back from diplomatic talks over the war with Iran following recent midterm election losses.
In an interview on “The Hugh Hewitt Show,” Trump said he wanted to “get Cuba done” before leaving office and suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents immigrated from the island, would be eager to take on the effort.
“Well, I want to get Cuba done before I leave, yeah,” Trump told Hewitt when asked if he would order military force to free Cuba. “And we have a very good, talented guy for Cuba named Marco. Because Marco’s parents are from, Marco Rubio, his parents are from Cuba as you probably know. And he would love to do that.”

Trump described Cuba as a “failed” nation and said he was watching the situation closely, pointing to his past electoral support among Cuban Americans in Florida.
“I would like to be able to do it,” Trump said. “I won the Cuban vote by 94% in Florida, and I think I’m more popular now than I was then. And frankly, I’d love to be able to do it for the people, for the Cubans that came and were treated really badly, and they came to America.”
When Hewitt pressed him on whether he would approve a brief military operation — specifically asking if he would be comfortable with “a little bit of military force, a week campaign” — Trump replied: “I would be, I would certainly consider that, yes.”

The president’s remarks on Cuba come as the White House shifts its approach to the ongoing war with Iran, which began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes.
Earlier Thursday morning, Trump announced in a series of Truth Social posts that he had instructed Vice President JD Vance to abandon diplomatic negotiations with Tehran and focus instead on investigating alleged fraud in Democratic-led states and cities.

“We don’t need a deal with Iran,” Trump wrote. “Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!”
Oil prices rose, and stocks fell following the announcement as markets reacted to the renewed uncertainty, as reported by Axios.

The directive marks an abrupt shift for Vance, who has spent months leading U.S. negotiating delegations to secure a ceasefire and resume nuclear talks. Just days ago, the vice president had been weighing direct discussions with senior Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
On Tuesday, Rubio told G7 counterparts in Paris that Trump had decided against resuming major military strikes or pursuing a diplomatic settlement with Iran, opting instead to isolate the regime. The U.S. has repeatedly rejected an existing Iranian ceasefire proposal, which Rubio dismissed as “outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.”
Though Trump told reporters on Monday that the war with Iran was “effectively over” and that the U.S. would hold off on threatened strikes at the request of Gulf neighbors including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, he intends to maintain a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Low-level attacks have also continued, with Iranian state media reporting U.S. strikes on Iran’s Qeshm island earlier this week following Iranian attacks on tankers in the Gulf.
The war’s economic toll, including higher gas prices, was widely seen as a factor in the Republican Party’s recent midterm losses, which cost the GOP control of Congress. Days before Trump’s Thursday announcement, Vance publicly broke with the president over the war’s political impact.
“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote on X last week. “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost.”
Trump has defended the war in Iran, saying he would not have handled it differently.
