Donald Trump stated that he could "take over" Cuba, which is facing a major electricity crisis, while the US intensifies pressure on the communist regime.

Donald Trump stated that he could "take over" Cuba, in the context of a severe energy crisis that has left millions of people without power. His statements come amid increased pressures from the United States on Cuba, following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Cuba's main partner. The electric grid operator in Cuba, UNE, is investigating the causes of the recent power outage, which led to violent protests, a rarity in a communist country. Although officials have ruled out a major malfunction, they have not identified the main cause of the collapse. Trump mentioned that Cuba is in a state of weakness and expressed a desire to "liberate" or "take over" the island, considering it an opportunity to improve its economic and tourism situation. He emphasized that Cuba is a beautiful nation, but on the brink of collapse.
