The US is talking to Cuba "right now," President Donald Trump said Monday.
"We're talking to Cuba right now," he told reporters en route to Washington.
Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio is holding the talks.
"They should absolutely make a deal," he added.
Trump called Cuba "a failed nation."
"We'll see how it all turns out. But Cuba and us, we are talking. In the meantime, there's an embargo, there's no oil, there's no money," he said.
