Trump plans to increase economic pressure on Cuba
US President Donald Trump is predicting a change in the political system in Cuba. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, the main focus should be on economic pressure: stopping oil supplies, restricting financial flows, and limiting Cuba's access to external sources to force the Havana government into negotiations. In recent weeks, Washington's rhetoric towards Cuba has been shifting precisely in this direction.
These statements appear even stronger against the backdrop of events in Venezuela. In January, sources reported that after a US military operation, Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife were taken to the United States.
It is noted that this event could affect the balance of power in the region and Cuba's energy supply. On March 2, an article published in The Atlantic provided information that the Trump administration is considering the next tough steps against Cuba.
Sources of the publication write that the president has a desire to move to a new strategy. If Washington intensifies coverage regarding oil supplies and financial channels, there is a possibility of increased socio-economic pressure in Cuba.
The Wall Street Journal wrote about fuel shortages in Cuba and the slowing pace of life, which could be an important factor for political negotiations and internal stability. In conclusion, Trump's sharp rhetoric of "Cuba will fall" has not yet yielded practical results, but it signals a change in the rules of the game in the region.
If the pressure continues, Cuba will face a choice: to endure difficult economic conditions or to seek a path to agreement. The coming months could be a period that determines which direction Cuba will take.
