Trump says regime change in Cuba is ‘question of time’ after Iran

Trump predicts imminent Cuban regime change, appointing Senator Marco Rubio to lead negotiations amid ongoing U.S. economic pressure and diplomatic efforts, following Iran conflict focus.

  • At a White House East Room event, Trump said he plans to focus on Cuba after Iran, suggesting negotiations may follow soon.
  • After U.S. actions cut Venezuelan oil supplies, Cuba faced a fragile power network and a massive December failure in its national electricity grid.
  • At least five million Cubans rely on electricity for chronic care, PAHO reported 385 health facilities damaged and seven provinces face water shortages, while almost one-in-three Havana households lost power.
  • On Wednesday, Ecuador declared Cuban ambassador Basilio Antonio Gutiérrez persona non grata, ordering diplomats to leave within 48 hours as regional protests and cancellations of Cuban medical contracts followed.
  • Trump predicted Cuba would fall and signalled negotiations may follow, saying 'Well, it's because of my intervention, intervention that is happening' during a Politico interview.
