US President Donald Trump has said he wants to resolve the Cuba issue before leaving office in 2029, adding that he would consider a limited military operation against the communist-run island.
Speaking to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump described Cuba as a failed state and said his administration was closely monitoring developments in Havana.
The comments come as Washington tightens economic pressure on Havana through sanctions targeting Cuban oil tankers and shipping companies.
Cuba is facing severe fuel shortages, repeated power outages and economic difficulties. Its embassy in Washington estimated that US sanctions cost the country $8 billion between March 2025 and February 2026.
However, analysts believe further economic pressure is more likely than direct US ilitary intervention.
