Trump threatens Cuba again, says island nation may face ‘friendly takeover’
AI Summary
In March 2026, US President Donald Trump threatened Cuba with a potential "friendly takeover" amid the island nation's energy and economic crisis. Trump stated that the US Department of State, under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is focused on Cuba, suggesting the country is facing economic collapse and is ready to negotiate with Washington. The crisis in Cuba was triggered in January when the US halted fuel exports from Venezuela, a key ally and oil source for Cuba. While Trump claims Cuba is ready to make a deal with the US, Cuba has denied reports of high-level talks but has not outright denied informal talks. The US threat comes as the US-Israeli war on Iran enters its second week.
