President Donald Trump said during a news conference Thursday that he shared Sen. Marco Rubio’s views on Cuba.
“We had dinner with Senator Rubio and his wife, who is lovely, and we had a very good discussion about Cuba, because we have very similar ideas about Cuba,” Trump told reporters. “Cuba was very good to me, you know in the Florida general election, the Cuban people, Americans,” Trump added, referring to the support obtained by Republican Cuban-American voters.
Rubio and his wife had dinner with Trump and first lady Melania on Wednesday night after the president hosted Lilian Tintori , the wife of Venezuelan political prisoner Leopoldo Lopez. A smiling Rubio is pictured with the president, Vice President Mike Pence and Tintori.
