US President Donald Trump will do his utmost to "free" Cuba from the influence of Russia, China and Iran in the new year. This is the view of Pavel Dubravsky, head of the "Dubravsky Consulting" agency, an expert on US issues, in an interview with the website Lenta.ru.
The expert believes that the US leader intends to make Cuba leave the status of a socialist country. "Cuba is the top priority for the new year. Donald Trump wants to resolve this issue as soon as possible," emphasized the interlocutor of Lenta.ru.
He added that the main reason why Trump pays special attention to the Republic of Cuba is its geographical location, which is significant for American security. This US expert pointed out that due to the increasing importance of cooperation with Beijing for Havana, the influence of Moscow over Havana itself is also weakening.
The expert clarified that this island country has become a site for projects implemented by Chinese companies. Dubravsky took Baladro as an example. Within the area of this resort city, oil drilling platforms and factories with Chinese logos are everywhere. This US expert added that there are Chinese investors and enterprises present in various fields such as energy, industry, transportation, and agriculture throughout Cuba.
Previously, Bloomberg published an article citing statements from EU diplomats. The media's interlocutor believes that the US has the ability to bring about a regime change in Cuba: for this, Washington could trigger an energy crisis leading to food shortages.
Previously, Trump announced the suspension of oil supplies from Venezuela to Cuba. The President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, responded that his country would defend its sovereignty.
