Factcheck: Yes, it’s true. In a March 6 phone interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, President Trump said unprompted: “Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon… They want to make a deal so badly… so I’m going to put Marco over there and we’ll see how that works out.” Confirmed by CNN, NBC, and multiple other reports.
