Trump has destabilized Cuba with an aggressive oil blockade, baselessly declaring the government an "unusual and extraordinary threat" while the country faces a humanitarian crisis worse than the 1990s Special Period. The blockade has caused power outages, business closings and severe food poverty affecting seven out of 10 Cubans who now skip meals. As job growth stagnates at home and his approval ratings sink, Trump threatens a "friendly takeover" — his third coup attempt after Venezuela and Iran — allocating scarce fuel to police repression rather than helping desperate citizens.
