US President Donald Trump announced that Washington may soon reach a deal with Cuba or take "alternative steps" once the current Middle East conflict is resolved.

"Cuba wants a deal. I think we'll reach one soon or do what we must," Trump said, adding that his administration will address the Cuba issue "fairly quickly" after the Iran crisis ends.

The American president previously mentioned potential military action against Cuba, triggering significant international reactions and heightened tensions between the two countries.

The specific terms of any potential proposal for Havana remain unclear, but Trump's statements suggest that American moves toward Cuba could happen faster than expected.
