Trump threatens tariffs on countries supplying Cuba with much-needed oil
AI Summary
In January 2026, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba. The order describes Cuba as a threat to US national security, citing its alignment with hostile countries and groups. This action follows the US military's abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the US taking control of Venezuela's oil sector, which previously supplied Cuba. Trump stated that Cuba should "make a deal" and suggested the country would soon be failing due to the lack of Venezuelan oil. Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel rejected Trump's threats, citing the long-standing US embargo and resulting fuel shortages.
