Since the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, questions have been raised about whether the Cuban regime could face a similar fate. However, President Donald Trump is playing down the possibility of a U.S. military operation against the country.

Cuba is ready to fall, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, according to AFP.

I don't think we need to do anything. It looks like it's going to fail.

Senator Lindsey Graham, also on board the plane, had somewhat harsher words.

"Just wait for Cuba. Cuba is a communist dictatorship that has killed priests and nuns. They are killing their own people. Their days are numbered," he said, according to the BBC .

Two days of national mourning have been declared in Cuba after the government confirmed that 32 Cubans were killed during the US attack on Venezuela.

Cuba protected Maduro. It was not a smart move, Trump said.
