TL;DR
Trump openly mused about 'taking' Cuba while the U.S. oil blockade has collapsed Cuba's power grid, hitting hospitals and nursing homes.
Key Points
- 1.Trump said he'd have 'the honor of taking Cuba' in an Oval Office statement, musing aloud whether he'd 'free it' or simply 'take it,' with no coherent strategy articulated.
- 2.The U.S. is actively blockading Cuba's oil supply, preventing Mexico, Russia, and others from shipping oil to the island of 9–11 million people, causing a near-total collapse of the power grid.
- 3.The blackout is reaching humanitarian crisis levels, with nursing homes, hospitals, and schools losing power—a life-threatening situation especially for people with disabilities or chronic health needs.
- 4.China is filling the vacuum by supplying solar panels, directly undermining Trump's stated foreign policy goal of limiting China's global influence, as reported by The Washington Post.
- 5.Polling from Progressive International shows only 8% of Trump voters support using force against Cuba, and 56% of the overall public oppose the naval blockade, with Cuba not seen as an extraordinary threat by a 2-to-1 margin.
- 6.Cuba is offering Miami-based Cuban nationals the right to invest and own businesses on the island as an olive branch, but U.S. law blocks those investments due to post-revolution property confiscation rules.
- 7.Marco Rubio has a long-term generational strategy for Cuba, including allowing U.S. petrol products to be sold to Cuba's private sector since February, but Trump's impulsive public statements may be undermining Rubio's more orchestrated plan.
