Trump Says Cuba Might Be Next After Iran, Venezuela
“I built this great military. I said you’ll never have to use it. But sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba’s next, by the way,” Trump told the audience, later jokingly asking the media to “pretend I didn’t say that.”
The president has repeatedly threatened to apply maximum pressure on Havana, including the possibility of a total oil blockade and tariffs on countries supplying fuel to the island. In recent months, Cuba has faced severe fuel shortages and power cuts, exacerbated by disruptions to oil shipments from Venezuela following US pressure.
Trump’s remarks signal that the administration is maintaining a hardline approach toward Cuba, emphasizing both the economic and strategic leverage the US can exert on the island, even as Havana has expressed willingness to hold talks aimed at resolving bilateral differences through dialogue.
