US EditionTrump says US is ‘starting to talk to Cuba’ as he moves to cut its oil supplies
Trump said the U.S. is pressuring Cuba's oil suppliers with tariffs while initiating talks, aiming to force negotiations amid Cuba's worsening economic and energy crisis.
- On Jan 31, President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that `We’re starting to talk to Cuba` as his administration cuts its oil supplies.
- This past week, President Donald Trump signed the executive order declaring a national emergency and authorizing tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, following recent cuts from Venezuela and Mexico.
- Reports including the Financial Times found Cuba only has enough oil for 15 to 20 days at current demand and production, and tracking data shows Pemex shipped nearly 20,000 barrels per day before falling to about 7,000 bpd.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned on Friday that tariffs could trigger a humanitarian crisis affecting Cuban hospitals and food, and she said Mexico will seek alternatives and send aid while avoiding economic risk.
- The administration says the campaign follows the January operation that removed Nicolás Maduro, and Trump said the energy squeeze should force Cuba to negotiate a deal.
