President Trump said Friday night that "Cuba's next" while discussing his war against Iran.

"Cuba's next, by the way, but pretend I didn't say that," Trump told a Saudi investor forum in Miami.

"Please, pretend I didn't. Please, please, please, media, please disregard that statement. Thank you very much."

Trump has crippled the already weak Cuban economy by imposing an oil embargo after capturing the Communist island's Venezuelan ally, socialist president Nicolas Maduro, in a Jan. 3 raid on Caracas.

President Trump thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its help in Iran during his speech to wealthy Saudi investors.

"I want to thank the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It has been very helpful," he told the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit in Miami.

He noted that was a marked contrast to traditional American allies like NATO.

"I've always said NATO is a paper tiger. And I always said, we help NATO, but they'll never help us," he noted.

President Trump told a Saudi investor forum that he might rename the Strait of Hormuz after himself.

"They have to open up the Strait of Trump — I mean Hormuz," Trump said.

"Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake. The Fake News will say, 'he accidentally said.' There's no accidents with me, not too many," he said.

TSA agents will start seeing paychecks drop in their bank accounts on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said.

President Trump signed an order on Friday, using emergency powers to order the workers paid.

"Today, at the direction of President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, TSA has immediately begun the process of paying its workforce. TSA officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday, March 30," a DHS spokesperson told The Post.

"TSA is grateful to the President and Secretary for their leadership to put money back into the pockets of TSA employees who worked without pay during the ongoing Democrat DHS shutdown."

The Trump White House showed farmers some love Friday with a suggestive new website highlighting its agricultural policy, along with a massive golden tractor on the South Lawn.

The administration unveiled “OnlyFarms” — yes, the name is a deliberate play on the adult website OnlyFans — which is housed on the official WhiteHouse.gov website, but can only be found by searching “OnlyFarms.gov.”

While less sexy than its more popular counterpart, OnlyFarms includes a searchable map where users can click on their state to see the average amount they’ve saved due to Trump’s farming agenda.

The nation’s agricultural sector is struggling with high fuel and fertilizer costs as a result of President Trump’s global tariff scheme and the war against Iran.

Vice President JD Vance said Friday that Rep. Ilhan Omar defrauded the US by allegedly marrying her brother to help him remain legally in the country.

“We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on the latest episode of his show.

Vance added that he's been discussing legal remedies with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, explaining that questions have been raised: “How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually build the case to actually get some justice for the American people?”

The vice president claimed the Minnesota Democrat “has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somalian community” — and that was also something that should be under investigation.

"I'm worried about the immigration," Vance said. "I'm also worried about: What did Ilhan Omar know about what was happening in the Somali-American community? And why was nobody looking into it until, frankly, Donald Trump came along?"

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday ordering that TSA agents be paid, bypassing Congress.

"I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security," he wrote in the official notice of the order.

The order came in the form of a memorandum to new Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and draws on the presidential power to act in a national emergency.

TSA workers are in their second month without pay after a partial shutdown of DHS funds. The Senate - in the early hours of Thursday morning - passed a measure to fund the department but the House rejected that on Friday, prolonging a six-week shutdown.

The US House of Representatives will vote "as soon as possible" on a stopgap measure funding the Department of Homeland Security, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Friday.

The revised bill comes after the Senate passed their own DHS funding measure that excluded spending for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as portions of Customs and Border Protection.

President Trump has given the House his full support for the approach, as Republican and Democratic senators have already left town for a two-week recess.

President Trump will pay Transportation Security Administration agents via executive order, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) confirmed Friday.

"President Trump has already ordered by executive order that TSA agents will be paid," Johnson told reporters at an afternoon press conference.

The White House Office of Management and Budget is working on the details, he noted, and the approach has Trump's full support.

"I spoke to the president a few moments ago. He understands exactly what we're doing and why — and he supports it," Johnson added.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) rejected a Senate-passed Department of Homeland Security funding bill on Friday that he claimed had jammed his chamber with a "radical, crazy agenda."

"This gambit that was done last night is a joke," Johnson erupted in a news conference. "It can't be the case that every Senate Republican read this bill."

The House speaker then read from the measure that funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as for Customs and Border Protection would be "zero" if his chamber passed it.

"We're not doing that, and it is unconscionable to me that the Democrats would force some sort of negotiation at three o'clock in the morning and try to hoist this upon the American people and then get on their jets and go home for their holiday — and pretend and think that we're going to go along with that," Johnson rattled off.

"Republicans are going to continue to govern and do the right thing — morally, legally and politically. We're going to take care of those that take care of us."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the war in Iran will conclude in 'weeks, not months' and without ground troops.

"We are on or ahead of schedule in that operation, and expect to conclude at the appropriate time here, in a matter of weeks, not months, and the progress is going very well," he told reporters as he left the G7 meeting in France.

And he said he didn't think ground troops would be necessary.

'We can achieve all of our objectives without ground troops, but we are always going to be prepared to give the president maximum optionality and maximum opportunity to adjust to contingencies should they emerge," Rubio noted.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus are ripping the Senate for jamming them with a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that doesn't fund federal immigration enforcement.

"It is absolutely offensive to the people that we represent that the Senate would send over a bill that doesn't fund Border Patrol and the core components of ICE," Roy said.

"Could the Senate be any more lazy than to send to us a bill that doesn't do the job — and then leave town?" he fumed. "We're going to send back a bill that's responsible."
