Is Cuba Next?

Robert Farley

Synopsis: Following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, analysts are questioning whether Cuba will be the next domino to fall. -The Havana regime faces an existential crisis as the U.S. moves to cut off vital Venezuelan oil and financial aid, exacerbating an economy that has already contracted by 4%.

-With Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and the Trump administration viewing the collapse of the Castro legacy as a foreign policy “trophy,” the U.S. is expected to ramp up economic pressure and destabilization efforts against the vulnerable island nation.
