"Cuba has been reeling, with the island nation of 11 million staggering under the yoke of major fuel shortages that have trammelled nearly every aspect of life. The fomenting humanitarian crisis is a direct result of a new, aggressive approach by the administration of United States President Donald Trump in the wake of the US military abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro."
"That comes as Trump has sent a contradicting message: He has both told reporters he seeks to work a deal with the communist government led by Miguel Diaz-Canel and, alternately, plans to make Cuba free again, hinting at the regime change long sought by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. One possibility is that they actually do come to some kind of a deal, William LeoGrande, a professor focusing on US foreign policy in Latin America at American University, told Al Jazeera."
Cuba faces severe fuel shortages that have disrupted almost every aspect of life, creating a mounting humanitarian crisis. US actions under President Donald Trump include threats of crippling tariffs on countries supplying fuel and measures that have curtailed shipments from Venezuela and Mexico, intensifying shortages. The administration has sent mixed signals, stating both a desire for a deal with Miguel Diaz-Canel's government and rhetoric suggesting regime change. Analysts outline possible outcomes: a negotiated deal with unclear terms, societal collapse from prolonged fuel deprivation, or a strategy to keep the government while installing a more pliable leader.
