Trump hints at Cuba takeover as blackout shrouds island

Former President Donald Trump said he would have the 'honour of taking Cuba' amid a US-imposed oil blockade that caused a total blackout, with reports that U.S. officials urged Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down. Washington has intensified pressure on Havana by cutting Venezuelan oil shipments and warning of tariffs, and some U.S. figures advocate regime change, though Díaz-Canel says talks with the U.S. should be based on equality and sovereignty.
