The Trump administration is increasing pressure on Cuba through tougher sanctions and contingency planning, amid concerns the Cuban government could face major instability this summer. Officials told Axios the U.S. has discussed possible military responses if unrest escalates, though no invasion is planned. The strategy focuses on economically squeezing Cuba by targeting key revenue sources and companies linked to the Cuban military. Officials describe the approach as gradual “accelerationism” — increasing pressure while avoiding direct intervention for now. The administration believes worsening shortages of food, electricity, and fuel could spark protests similar to past anti-government demonstrations. Source: Axios
