US maximum-pressure campaign on Cuba includes cutting off Venezuelan oil exports and threatening tariffs on countries that continue trade, intensifying economic strain. Fuel shortages have forced many Cubans to cook with charcoal and endure worsening, widespread power blackouts. US rhetoric has signaled an expectation of Cuba's imminent collapse and an openness to punitive measures against third-party trade partners. The Cuban government faces escalating shortages, reduced energy supplies, and mounting pressure on public services. Domestic hardships heighten political vulnerability and raise questions about the resilience of Cuba's communist government amid sustained external pressure and constrained economic lifelines.
