Disagreement on military action consideration
While Donald Trump stated he would 'certainly consider' a short military campaign against Cuba, the reports differ on the exact phrasing of his response to being asked if he would order military force. In.gr reported Trump said he would 'think about it very seriously' and wants to 'get it done' before leaving. Infobae reported Trump said he 'would consider it'. Haberler and Anadolu Ajansı reported Trump said he would 'certainly consider' military action. The Epoch Times and El Universo digests do not include this specific detail.
What the coverage left out
None of the centre-rated outlets ran this story. None of the right-rated digests mention Donald Trump's description of Cuba as a 'failed state' or 'failed nation', a detail reported by the left-rated outlets in.gr and Infobae, and the unrated digest from Haberler.
