Donald Trump

Congressional Insider - President Trump declared he would have the “honor” of taking control of Cuba as the island nation teeters on the brink of total collapse, signaling an unprecedented shift in U.S.-Cuba relations that could reshape the Caribbean and challenge decades of failed communist rule.

Trump stated Cuba is a “failed nation” with “no money, no oil, no nothing” during remarks following the island’s nationwide electrical grid collapse. The President suggested a “friendly takeover” while asserting he could “do anything I want with it,” leaving options open from liberation to regime change.

Cuba’s weakened state stems from tightened U.S. sanctions, loss of Venezuelan oil subsidies, and economic mismanagement under communist leadership. White House policies include designating Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism and imposing tariffs on nations supplying oil to the regime
