Russia Responds After Trump Says He Plans to ‘Take’ Cuba​

“I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Whether I free it, take it, I think I could do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth. They are a very weakened nation right now.”

As US pressure grows for leadership change in Cuba, a Castro could be the next president​

Two Castro cousins have come into focus as potential replacements, experts said.

Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga — Raúl Castro’s 55-year-old great nephew — has shot to power since emerging from obscurity several years ago. He became minister of Cuba’s influential Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment in May 2024 and was appointed the island’s deputy prime minister in October.
 

Cuba's deputy foreign minister says its military is preparing for possible 'aggression' from the U.S.​

The Cuban official insisted that negotiations on regime change weren’t on the table amid talks with the U.S.

Emerging from latest blackout, Cuba says ready for any potential US attack​

US President Trump, who cut off oil supplies to Cuba after abducting Venezuela’s President Maduro, has threatened to take over the island-nation.
 
President Donald Trump on Friday signaled a shift away from the war with Iran after apparent positive negotiations this week and the administration's capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, saying "Cuba is next."

While speaking in Florida at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute Summit at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, Trump said even though he campaigned on peace through strength, sometimes force is necessary.

"And Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn't say that," Trump said. "Please, please, please media, please disregard that statement. Thank you very much — Cuba's next."
 

The Russian oil tanker playing chicken with Trump over Cuba​

Russia appears to be testing U.S. commitment in the Western Hemisphere as Washington already battles the Kremlin’s influence on other fronts.

The Anatoly Kolodkin is steaming toward the Caribbean.

The Russian oil tanker’s official destination, according to one of its public broadcasts: “Atlantis, USA.” More probably, it’s the Cuban port of Matanzas.





Ferrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of crude oil across the Atlantic, the tanker is flying a Russian flag. A Russian warship escorted it through the English Channel, where it was tracked by the Royal Navy for 48 hours, only to turn back as soon as the tanker was clear.

While the Kremlin declined to confirm reports of Russian oil heading to Cuba, it also has made little effort to conceal its hand.

 
The Democrat attempt to BLOCK President Trump from a military operation in Cuba has been rejected by the US Senate, 51-47
The post by @warDaniel47 highlights the April 28, 2026 Senate vote of 51-47 sustaining a Republican point of order, which blocked S.J.Res. 124—a Democratic joint resolution seeking to force removal of US forces from any unauthorized hostilities in Cuba.
The largely party-line vote (with one Democrat and two Republicans crossing lines) underscores partisan tensions over presidential commander-in-chief authority, as Republicans argued no active US hostilities in Cuba justified the measure.
