Trump cut off Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba and threatened to put tariffs on any country that sold oil to Cuba, strangling the Caribbean island\u2019s already antiquated grid. On Saturday, Cuba\u2019s power grid collapsed, leaving the country without electricity for the third time in March.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Philip Brenner, professor emeritus of international relations at the American University in Washington DC, this situation is designed by the White House to squeeze Cuba so badly that its people will rebel against the regime.
