US EditionThe Truth About Cuba
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he believes he will have the "honor of taking Cuba," claiming he could do "anything he wants" with the nation.
- This renewed attention follows an oil blockade and the ousting of Venezuelan leader Maduro two months ago, which plunged the Latin American nation into a severe energy crisis.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that Cuba "needs new people in charge" to repair its struggling economy, stating the island "has an economy that doesn't work in a political and governmental system."
- Responding to the claims, Canel rejected these statements, arguing that Cuba will only negotiate "under the principles of equality and respect for the political systems of both countries, sovereignty and self-determination."
- Rising tensions coincide with the island's third major blackout in four months, as the government attributes its deepening energy and economic crises to the ongoing United States energy blockade.
