Former US President Donald Trump denounced the Cuban government as a failed state during his remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, alleging it has ties to US activist groups Antifa and the Democratic Socialists of America.
Former President Donald Trump took the floor at the United Nations General Assembly to launch a scathing attack on Cuba’s communist regime, describing it as a “failed state.”
He asserted that the island government maintains covert connections with American activist movements, specifically naming Antifa and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as collaborators.
Trump’s remarks, delivered in a highly charged tone, marked a rare direct confrontation with a foreign government in the UN forum, underscoring his continued focus on international left‑wing groups.
The speech did not include any official diplomatic response from Cuba, and observers noted that the statements reflect Trump’s broader strategy of highlighting perceived threats from socialist entities worldwide.
The episode adds another layer to the ongoing debate over Cuba’s political system and its relationship with global activist networks.
