Trump halts oil supplies to Cuba: what does it mean for Havana.

According to ТСН: U.S. President Donald Trump announced a complete cessation of oil supplies and funding to Cuba, linking it to the situation in Venezuela and the changing balance of power in the Western Hemisphere.

According to Trump, for many years Cuba received large volumes of oil and financial resources from Venezuela in exchange for 'security services' that Havana provided to the Venezuelan authorities.

“Cuba has lived for many years off oil and money from Venezuela. In return, it provided security to two Venezuelan dictators. But that has come to an end,”

He also added that most Cubans involved in this activity were killed during last week's American attack, and Venezuela no longer needs external protection.

“Now Venezuela has the United States of America – the most powerful army in the world – and we will protect it,”

Trump stressed that Cuba will no longer receive “no oil, no money – zero,” and urged the Cuban authorities to come to an agreement with the United States as soon as possible.

“I strongly advise them to make a deal while it is not too late,”

Earlier, the U.S. noted that the communist regime in Cuba could be threatened by the detention of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by American forces. Analysts believe that the loss of Venezuelan oil and increasing pressure from Washington could significantly weaken Havana's position.

Republican Senator Rick Scott also emphasized that events in Venezuela are just the beginning of larger changes in Latin America.

Moreover, the U.S. State Department recently declared the Western Hemisphere an exclusive zone of American influence. Donald Trump characterized this strategy as the “Donroe Doctrine,” positioning it as a radical update of the Monroe Doctrine.

Thus, Trump's decision to halt support for Cuba could change the political situation in the region. This step underscores new strategic goals for the U.S. in Latin America, where the States seek to strengthen their influence amid growing instability. The economic isolation of Cuba could have significant consequences for the political landscape on the island.
