Trump threatens tariffs on any nation supplying Cuba with oil

SUMMARY

President Trump has threatened new tariffs on oil suppliers to Cuba, intensifying pressure on the Communist-led island. This action is authorized under a national emergency but does not disclose specific tariff rates or target countries.

Trump's remarks follow the U.S. military's recent actions against Venezuela, Cuba's previous main oil supplier. He stated, "Cuba will be failing pretty soon." Meanwhile, Cuba's president argued that the U.S. lacks the moral authority to impose a deal on the island.

Tariff threats have been a recurring tool in Trump's foreign policy during his second term.
