President Donald Trump expressed concerns about Cuba’s economic stability, suggesting the island might be nearing collapse amid its ongoing crisis. During a speech at an investment summit in Miami, he highlighted the success of US military interventions in Venezuela and Iran, hinting at possible actions against Cuba without detailing specific plans. Trump mentioned, “I built this strong military. I said, ‘You’ll never have to use it.’ But sometimes, you have to deploy it. Cuba is next, by the way.” He quickly added, “Pretend I didn’t say that. Forget I said that.”
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel acknowledged ongoing discussions with the U.S. aimed at avoiding military conflict. Cuba’s economy has been severely impacted by disruptions in oil supplies, which are critical for power generation and transportation. Previously, Venezuela supplied much of Cuba’s oil, but under U.S. pressure, Caracas has halted those shipments. Trump previously speculated about a potential “friendly takeover” of Cuba, later qualifying it as possibly not so friendly.
