Washington, March 30: President Donald Trump has stated that Cuba will be the next nation to face collapse. He labeled the island nation as a failed state and indicated that Washington is prepared to allow oil supplies to improve the situation for its people.
Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One, saying, “Cuba will be next… Cuba is in very bad shape. It is a failed country, and it will be next.”
He emphasized that the United States would assist Cuban-Americans and others affected by the crisis, stating, “We will be there to help… We will be there for our great Cuban-Americans.”
The President attributed Cuba’s dire situation to its leadership, asserting, “Their regime is terrible. Their leadership is very poor and corrupt.”
These comments came in response to reports suggesting that the U.S. might allow oil supplies to Cuba, including from Russia, amid economic difficulties.
“I told them that if any country wants to send oil to Cuba right now, I have no problem with that,” he said. He added that such supplies would not significantly alter the geopolitical landscape, stating, “Whether it’s Russia or anyone else… it doesn’t matter much to me. It won’t have a special impact.”
Trump argued that permitting fuel supplies would benefit ordinary Cubans rather than the government. “I would prefer to let it in… because people need heat, cooling, and other essentials,” he explained.
He also noted that additional oil supplies would not change Cuba’s overall situation. Even if they received a ship full of oil, it would not make a difference. “Cuba is finished,” he declared.
Trump’s remarks suggest a dual strategy that pressures Havana’s leadership while providing limited humanitarian relief to alleviate the struggles of ordinary citizens.
In recent years, Cuba has faced long-standing economic pressures, including fuel shortages, power outages, and declining foreign currency earnings. U.S. sanctions and restrictions, along with structural challenges in Cuba’s economy, have exacerbated this crisis.
