Fidel Castro’s Grandson Says He’s a Capitalist and That He Would Strike a Deal With President Trump

Dmitri Bolt / Townhall Tipsheet  

The grandson of the infamous Cuban dictator Fidel Castro revealed in a recent CNN interview that not only does he support capitalism, but would welcome a deal with President Trump, as the United States has maintained a near-total oil blockade on the country since January.

After the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro earlier this year, the president has continued pursuing what many have dubbed the “Donroe Doctrine,” aiming to bring countries in the Western Hemisphere back into alignment with the United States. So far, that effort has included increased pressure on communist regimes like Cuba to abandon reliance on Russia, China, and Iran and instead pursue economic ties and trade with the U.S.

"We would actually welcome, he says, speaking for himself, a deal with Donald Trump," CNN's Patrick Oppmann revealed. "I don't like his threats is what he told me, but if he opens up the island, if he improves the economy here, then it could all work out for the best. And so let's just listen to this conversation, which was more than a little surprising." Read  more, see Xs and videos here.

Trump tells Post war against Iran won’t last ‘much longer’ —Strait of Hormuz will reopen ‘automatically’ after US exit

Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST  

WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post on Tuesday that he believes the Iran war is likely to end soon and that other nations can reopen the Strait of Hormuz themselves — after he posted to social media a video of huge explosions near Isfahan that he said hit “a lot of stuff.”

“We’re not going to be there too much longer. We’re obliterating the s–t out of them right now, it’s a total obliteration,” the president said in a phone interview.

“But we won’t have to be there much longer — but we have more work to do in terms of killing their offensive, whatever offensive capability they have left.”

Trump said that other countries can sort out the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed for 31 days, causing global energy prices to soar.

“Well, I think it’ll automatically open, but my attitude is, I’ve obliterated the country. They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it…because I would imagine whoever's...Read more, see map and video here.

Trump says deal will ‘probably’ be reached soon — or else he’ll blow up Iran

Emily Crane and Josh Christenson / NEW YORK POST

President Trump said Monday that a deal with Iran was “probably” close to winding down the conflict — but warned the US would obliterate the regime’s power plants, oil wells, and its main export hub, Kharg Island, if negotiations fell through.

Trump noted, however, that a deal was “probably” close.

“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island.” 

Kharg Island is Iran’s main export hub.

Trump said the US purposefully hadn’t touched the sites after having previously given an April 6 deadline to Iran. Read more and see video here.

China-Russia's cooperation hands the US a ‘grievous loss’ as Iran conflict escalates, expert warns

Gordon Chang claims Chinese entities are supplying data that could be used to track US military assets in the region

The growing alignment between China, Russia, and Iran raises new concerns about the trajectory of the conflict in the Middle East as questions mount over how far Beijing's support could shape the outcome.

 

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joined FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria" to discuss how China's expanding role alongside Iran is complicating U.S. strategy and shifting the balance on the ground.

Those concerns come as Iran seeks to bring both China and Russia into ceasefire discussions, while reports point to continued material and intelligence support flowing from Beijing to Tehran.

Chang warned that China's involvement goes well beyond diplomacy, pointing to a pattern of support that he says spans weapons, technology, and intelligence.

"We just lost an AWACS plane in Saudi Arabia, and the Russians and the Chinese almost certainly supplied the information to Iran for targeting purposes. That was a grievous loss for us," Chang said. Read more, and see videos here.
