Trump vows to 'take' Cuba as island hit by nationwide blackout

President Trump vowed Monday to "take" Cuba as the island nation experienced a total nationwide power blackout. The blackout stems from Cuba's depleted fuel supplies, exacerbated by the longstanding U.S. oil embargo that restricts energy imports to the communist-led island. Trump's inflammatory rhetoric marks an escalation in rhetoric toward Cuba and reflects the administration's hardline stance on the country. The outage has left millions of Cubans without electricity, compounding an already severe economic crisis on the island. The incident underscores ongoing U.S.-Cuba tensions dating back decades, with the Trump administration signaling it may pursue more aggressive policies toward Havana.
