Trump: Cuba Will "Be Failing Pretty Soon" Without Venezuelan Oil

U.S. President Donald Trump has predicted the imminent collapse of Cuba's government, citing its loss of oil support from Venezuela. "They got the oil from Venezuela. They're not getting that anymore," Trump stated. His comments link Cuba's stability directly to energy imports from Venezuela, a longtime ally. The U.S. has imposed heavy sanctions on both nations' oil sectors. These measures aim to pressure the socialist governments in Caracas and Havana. The U.S. considers both regimes illegitimate. Without continued Venezuelan fuel shipments, analysts suggest Cuba could face severe energy shortages. This could worsen its existing economic problems. The Cuban government has not yet responded to Trump's latest statement.
