The Trump administration is exploring new measures aimed at increasing pressure on Cuba, including the possibility of a complete blockade on oil imports to the island, Politico reports.
The proposed action is part of a broader set of strategies being prepared for President Trump to compel political change in Havana. Officials have not confirmed a final decision, but the move would represent one of the most stringent measures against Cuba in recent years.
Analysts suggest that such a blockade could intensify economic hardships for Cuban citizens while escalating tensions between the United States and the Cuban government.
The administration’s objective, according to sources, is to end Cuba’s communist regime through diplomatic and economic pressure rather than military action.
The United States has maintained sanctions against Cuba for decades, primarily targeting the government and key industries. However, a total blockade on oil imports would mark a significant escalation in Washington’s efforts to reshape Cuban politics.
