1US President Trump stated he could occupy power-stricken Cuba.
2He pressured Cuba, stating the US can do as it pleases while the nation is weak.
3Global tensions are rising due to a series of hardline US foreign policies.

๐Ÿ” Background

Cuba is facing a severe economic crisis, including nationwide power outages. This is largely due to strong US sanctions blocking oil shipments to the country.
