US President-elect Donald Trump threatened on Monday to terminate the deal with Cuba if Havana does not take steps to improve lives of the Cuban people.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier, Trump described the US deal with Cuba as "one-sided," adding that it "benefits only Castro regime."

"If Cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the Cuban people, the Cuban/American people and the US as a whole, I will terminate deal," Trump stated via Twitter.
