Cuba faces uncertain future after US topples Venezuelan leader Maduro
Cuba mourns 32 security officers killed in the U.S. strike in Venezuela, risking oil shipments that supply about 25% of Cuba's demand, deepening economic uncertainty.
- On Monday, Cuban officials lowered flags to mourn 32 security officers killed in a U.S. weekend strike in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.
- The Trump administration has argued toppling Maduro would advance a decades-long goal of dealing a blow to the Cuban government, and on Saturday, Trump said the ailing Cuban economy will be further battered by Maduro’s ouster.
- Cuban experts note preexisting energy gaps as Maduro's government shipped an average of 35,000 barrels of oil daily, about a quarter of total demand, while existing blackouts and shortages persisted.
- The immediate question is whether the U.S. government will allow Venezuela's oil supplies to continue reaching Cuba, as Mexico once supplied 22,000 barrels daily but fell to 7,000 after Marco Rubio's visit; Jorge Piñón said he doesn't see Mexico jumping in now.
- Many observers note that Cuba, an island of about 10 million people, exerted remarkable influence over Venezuela, while residents reacted with fear and calls to resist.
