Donald Trump<\/strong> seemingly alluded to a major presidential scandal instead of directly answering a question about his plans for future military activity outside of the United States. <\/p>\n The 79-year-old president spoke with members of the press<\/a> aboard Air Force One on Friday (April 17). During the conversation, he was asked about possible plans to send the U.S. military into another foreign country, something that he\u2019d alluded to<\/a> earlier in the week. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n After threatening to \u201cstop by\u201d Cuba, Trump<\/strong> was asked for clarification about possible plans to strike the country. However, he replied by referencing a former president\u2019s key blunder while in office.<\/p>\n The president in question was former President Bill Clinton<\/strong>, with Trump<\/strong> seemingly alluding to his sex scandal involving Monica Lewinsky<\/strong>. <\/p>\n \u201cThere have been reports that the Pentagon\u2019s preparing for military action in Cuba. Are those reports true? Is Cuba next?\u201d a member of the press asked the president.<\/p>\n He replied, \u201cWell, it depends on what your definition of military action is,\u201d before doubling down when asked if his plans would look more like Venezuela or Iran. \u201cIt depends on what your definition of military action is, as Bill Clinton<\/strong> would say.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou understand that? No. And a lot of people don\u2019t understand that,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n Trump<\/strong> appeared to be referencing a statement Clinton<\/strong> made in 1998 amid speculation that he\u2019d been sexually involved with Lewinsky<\/strong>, a former White House intern: \u201cI did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,\u201d he said at the time. <\/p>\n Clinton<\/strong>\u2018s remark hinged on they gray area in what constitutes sexual relations between a man and a woman, essentially turning accusations against him into a battle about the semantics of the phrase \u201csexual relations.\u201d <\/p>\n Despite his argument, he was still impeached by the House of Representatives<\/a>, though he was later acquitted by the Senate. <\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if Trump<\/strong>\u2018s response confirmed future military action in Cuba. <\/p>\n While speaking to the press on April 13, the president described Cuba as a \u201cfailing nation,\u201d and implied that he wanted to take action against the country after wrapping his ongoing war in Iran. <\/p>\n Just Jared<\/strong> reached out to the White House for clarification about the president\u2019s comments but did not hear back at the time of publication. <\/p>\n Earlier in the week, Trump<\/strong> answered a question about his health in a shockingly candid manner<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
