Trump aims to end the revolution that Fidel Castro started. Can the US and Cuba strike a deal?
US officials demand Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel step down amid a fuel blockade causing blackouts and rationing that affect over 10 million residents.
- The US reportedly demanded Cuba's president step down, with Donald Trump stating at the White House, 'I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba.'

- Moves including possible indictments would escalate political fallout for Cuba's leadership, as reports say the US may indict former leader Raúl Castro amid the Castro dynasty's enduring influence.
- Last week Miguel Díaz-Canel said formal talks with the United States government were underway to avoid conflict, and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla offered serious dialogue without interference, while Díaz-Canel vowed any aggressor would face an 'impregnable resistance'.
