Trump Threatens to Impose Tariffs on Nations Who Provide Oil to Cuba

HeadlineJan 30, 2026

President Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba, as the U.S. intensifies efforts to topple the Cuban government. On Thursday, Trump said, “I think Cuba will not be able to survive.” The Financial Times reports Cuba only has about 15 to 20 days of oil left. The move appears to be intended to put pressure on Mexico, which has been an oil lifeline for Cuba.
