US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Cuba "will be failing pretty soon" as it loses critical financial and energy support previously provided by Venezuela.

"Cuba will be failing pretty soon. Cuba is really a nation that's very close to failing," he told reporters in the state of Iowa.

Trump said Cuba "got their money from Venezuela."

"They got their oil from Venezuela. They're not getting that anymore," he added.
