Cuban officials reported that the island nation, with a population of about 11 million, experienced a full-scale blackout on Monday due to worsening energy and economic crises, as well as continuous grid failures. The Ministry of Energy and Mining of Cuba stated on X that the national power system had suffered "complete power failure," and investigations are ongoing, with power plants still operating during the grid collapse not experiencing any failures. This is the third major power outage in Cuba over the past four months. As of late Monday, only 2% of residents in Havana (approximately 18,000 users) and a few hospitals on the island had restored power. In addition to aging grids, the Cuban government has also blamed the crisis on the U.S. energy blockade. Trump has recently repeatedly threatened to take action against Cuba. He said on Monday that he believes he will have the "honor of taking over Cuba," and "whether it's liberating it or taking it over, I think I can do whatever I want."
