President Trump appeared to joke at a Florida event on Friday that the US would be taking over Cuba almost immediately. Speaking at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches, he suggested the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier could simply stop 100 yards offshore on the way back from the Iran war. The remark came hours after he signed an executive order expanding US sanctions on the Cuban government.
