Trump's decisive action against Cuba's malign influence has exposed the regime's total dependence on foreign oil and its inability to sustain basic services. The aviation fuel crisis proves that cutting off Venezuela and threatening tariffs works — Cuba's tourism economy is collapsing, and the communist government faces its worst crisis since the Soviet Union abandoned it in the 1990s.
The U.S. blockade is strangling an entire nation through economic terrorism, forcing Cuba into an aviation fuel crisis that punishes ordinary citizens and tourists while accomplishing nothing beyond cruelty. Cuba produces 40 percent of its own oil and has weathered difficult times before — this manufactured crisis only demonstrates Washington's willingness to weaponize basic necessities against a small island that poses no threat.
