The Cuban delegation to the United Nations walked out during President Donald Trump's speech when he criticized the island's communist regime.

"My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure-the biggest pressure they've ever been under. It's an absolutely failed State," Trump said, during his address to the United Nations General Assembly.

"Marco Rubio is handling [the] negotiation. He's deep into negotiations with Cuba. Let's see what happens," he added. "Will not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep."

At around that point in the speech, Cuban delegates were spotted leaving the assembly hall.

Under the Trump administration, Washington has ramped up pressure on Cuba to reform its government and to cooperate with the U.S. Trump has repeatedly hinted at the prospect of a U.S. takeover of the island, though military options appear on hold.
