Now Trump is eyeing up Cuba
Donald Trump’s latest threats towards Cuba, following a devastating nationwide blackout, suggest a widening foreign policy strategy that stretches from Iran to Latin America — and raises serious questions about escalation and intent.
Trump and Rubio call for new Cuban leaders as latest blackout underscores deepening economic crisis
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday pledged imminent action against Cuba’s socialist government as his moves against the island bring the U.S.’ longtime opponent deeper into crisis.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t about democracy
I don’t believe that Trump gives a damn about democracy in Venezuela, Iran or Cuba.
A timeline driven by optics, not outcomes
I think he wants this all wrapped up in time for the FIFA World Cup opening and the midterms where he can hold up the three scalps of America’s greatest enemies on a Caesar tour of victory.
Iran remains the unresolved crisis
He has no comprehension of the damage he has caused with Iran and they have no intention of letting him off the hook.
Now Cuba becomes the next pressure point
The fact that he is already trying the same bully game with Cuba tells us all we need to know about how this is all just one big game to him.
If Cuba is the next escalation, it confirms a pattern — not a strategy. From Iran to Venezuela to Havana, this is not about stable outcomes or democratic transitions, it’s about spectacle, timing and political theatre. The danger is that the consequences won’t be theatrical at all.
Trump really is a nut.
Trump is really slow on the uptake- doesn’t learn from mistakes – can’t see the world is sick of his version of ‘democracy’, his rules only for him and his obsession with destroying other countries. How is he still there? He is fast bankrupting the USA who are too thick and gutless to oppose him, sending out mixed messages and treating other countries as ‘his for the taking’. Time for him to be despatched. Do hope Netanyahu has met his end but may have to wait on that one. This cannot end well for Trump!
