The Trump administration intensifies economic pressure on Cuba in the context of instability in Venezuela

President Donald Trump is turning his attention to Cuba, in the context of the weakening regime of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The oil blockade imposed by the U.S. has led to drastic measures in Cuba, such as the cessation of public transport and the closure of hotels. This situation has generated a debate in Washington about the appropriate strategy: an agreement with the Cuban government or a regime change. Although some Cuban-Americans hope for a quick change, experts suggest that economic pressure could lead to a gradual agreement.

Trump may pursue not only the removal of the Cuban regime but also the reduction of China's influence in the region. Discussions could take place with military leaders or officials willing to cooperate. However, some experts warn that a sudden change could cause chaos and a humanitarian disaster. Instead of military intervention, a management of the regime through economic pressure is anticipated. Additionally, Trump may be interested in economic opportunities in Cuba, such as hotel development.
