"Donald Trump was asked if an aircraft carrier was being deployed to Cuba to 'intimidate' the island - and denied it - as he took questions from the media in DC on Thursday. "There was an aircraft carrier that just arrived there just this week... Are you sending that there to intimidate the Cuban government?" a reporter put to him. "No, not at all. The Cuban, look, it's a failed country. Everybody knows it. They don't have electricity. They don't have money. They don't have really anything," he replied. " I want to — on a humanitarian basis. But we have the Cuban American population — much of it living in Miami and Florida. That's a great group of people." Trump imposed sanctions on countries supplying oil to Cuba this year, with blackouts and power outages seen. Former Cuban president Raul Castro was indicted by the US Department of Justice on alleges 'murder' charges on Wednesday, which the Cuban administration strongly rejected. He was speaking during an announcement with the Environmental Protection Agency, easing restrictions and curbs introduced under the previous administration to tackle greenhouse gases found in refrigerators and air conditioners."
