Trump Suggests Possible 'Friendly Takeover' of Cuba Amid Economic Crisis

US President Donald Trump suggested a possible "friendly takeover" of Cuba amid the island's deepening economic crisis worsened by US sanctions and disrupted oil supplies. While Trump indicated ongoing talks with Havana, he did not clarify the nature of the discussions or takeover. The US administration has tightened economic pressure without military threats, aiming for a gradual transition to avoid regional instability. Cuban officials have not commented, and US policymakers emphasize cautious, incremental change over sudden regime collapse.
