So we've been pursuing a failed policy for ~65 years? Why didn't trump fix this when he first made america great again back in 2016?
Because nobody was threatening to release his 38,000 mentions across over 5,300 documents in the Epstein files. Hell, they called Clinton to testify with under 1,200...
This is the lead paragraph from a Council on Foreign Relations analysis published today:
Since January, the Donald Trump administration has severely limited oil shipments to Cuba, a decision which has sparked fuel shortages, sharp price increases, and prolonged power outagesâthe country has already experienced three nationwide blackouts in March. Cubaâs recent economic and energy crises stem from a combination of long-standing structural challenges and policy decisions, including underinvestment in the energy sector, but Trumpâs hard-line policies and economic sanctions have exacerbated these difficulties since he returned to office in 2025.
Ding Ding Ding!
The trump doctrine: Create a problem, grift some money, make a half assed attempt to fix the problem you created, let some one else actually do something good, take credit. We are part way through step 3 in Iran, but step 4 is problematic, so he's skipped to step 5. Never skip step 2 though.

Cuba has been dependent on other countries for financial support for their very existence since Castro took over the country since way back before you were even born. When the Soviet Union collapsed and their support ended is when their downward spiral really got going. You have heard of the Soviet Union aka USSR ? And now that their latest benefactor Venezuela is no longer underwriting them, things have gotten pretty bleak. They screwed up their refineries by using the wrong crude on top of everything else.
And, of course, there is the longstanding embargo imposed on Cuba by the U..S.

it's all 4D chess from the guy overseeing the Iranian excursion that has benefited Russian by raising prices on everyone in America. His approval ratings just don't appreciate his genius.
