US President Donald Trump said Monday he thought he would have the "honor of taking Cuba", in his latest threat to the communist-run island after military operations in Venezuela and Iran.

"I do believe I'll be...having the honor of taking Cuba," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Whether I free it, take it -- think I could do anything I want with it, you want to know the truth. They're a very weakened nation right now."
