Trump Warns Cuba Could Be Washington's Next Target
MIAMI (Afghan Verified) — U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Cuba could become Washington's next target, stating "Cuba’s next" during a speech at an investment forum in Miami.
The remarks follow recent U.S. military action against Venezuela and a month-long war with Iran. Trump highlighted his administration's strengthened military capabilities in the context of these operations.
Cuba is grappling with a severe economic and energy crisis, marked by the worst fuel shortages in years and repeated power grid failures. The shortages stem from the loss of Venezuelan oil supplies, exacerbated by U.S. pressure measures including an oil chokehold on the island nation. The Trump administration has tightened these restrictions while permitting limited fuel exports to Cuba's private sector.
The warning comes amid quiet contacts between Washington and Cuban officials in recent weeks. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel acknowledged ongoing talks with the United States.
