In Cuba, the national electricity grid collapsed Monday, leaving millions without power as the country reels from an energy blockade imposed by President Trump. It was the third major blackout in Cuba over the past four months. This comes as The New York Times reports that the Trump administration is pushing for Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down. President Trump spoke to reporters Monday about his plans for the island nation.
President Donald Trump: “I do believe I’ll be the honor of — having the honor of taking Cuba. That’d be a good honor. It’s a big honor.”
Reporter: “Taking Cuba?”
President Donald Trump: “Taking Cuba in some form, yeah. Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it — think I can do anything I want with it, you want to know the truth.”
Later in the broadcast, we’ll go to Havana for the latest.
