First it was Venezuela, then Iran and the next name on the list is Cuba. The American president, Donald Trumppredicted this Thursday that the end of the communist regime is near.
“What do you think? After 50 years, that’s the icing on the cake“he told the media Politico when asked if he was influencing the fall of the Cuban government.
The tenant of the White House maintained that the energy crisis that Cuba is experiencing, with frequent blackouts, “is thanks” to his intervention.
“It’s an intervention that’s happening. Obviously, otherwise you wouldn’t have this problem. We cut off all the oilall the money… everything that came from Venezuela, which was the only source,” said the president.
He also confirmed that his Government is in contact with the communist leadership of Cuba, while instability grows on the island after the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a lightning operation by US troops in Caracas.
“They need help. “We are talking to Cuba,” said the Republican president.
Indeed, Maduro was guarded by Cuban soldiers expressly sent by Havana to escort him. In the operation, 32 of those soldiers died and their bodies were returned to the island with honors.
Finally, he asked the journalist: “How long have you been hearing about Cuba—Cuba, Cuba—? It’s been 50 years now.”
For this reason, he assured that Cuba “is one of the little things that interests me“.
Havana, the largest city in Cuba with almost two million inhabitants (300,000 of school age), suspended classes at all levels this Thursday due to the massive blackout caused the day before by a breakdown in a key thermal power plant in the country.
The blackout began at noon on Wednesday, after the “unforeseen shutdown” of the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant (west), a failure that ended disconnecting about two thirds of the country and leaving some six million people without power, including Havana.
This plant had planned capital maintenance of several months at the beginning of this year that was not carried out due to the energy crisis situation that the country is suffering.
The restoration is being slow, in part due to the lack of fuel as a result of the American oil siege. With diesel, the electric generation engines distributed throughout the country could be turned on, quickly generating more energy.
Cuba has been suffering a serious energy crisis since mid-2024. Since then, five national blackouts and several partial ones, the most recent of the latter took place last December.
