The article discusses the Trump administration's intensified efforts to pressure Cuba's communist government, which has been in power for 67 years. By cutting off oil shipments and targeting the tourism industry, the U.S. aims to cripple the Cuban economy. This strategy is based on the belief that the government's collapse is imminent, especially given Cuba's economic struggles, failing electric grid, and mass emigration. While predictions of the Cuban government's demise have been made before, particularly after the Soviet Union's collapse, experts suggest that the current situation poses a significant threat to its survival. The Trump administration has reportedly assured Cuban exiles that Cuba will be free by the end of 2026.
