Cuba has been in the news.<\/p>\n

Last January, US President Donald Trump pointed to possible regime change in Cuba (see\u00a0Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico: US military action in Venezuela is further evidence of the breakdown of the world order; Donald Trump suggests Mexico, Cuba and Colombia could be next<\/a>).<\/p>\n

He also mentioned Cuba this week and some are protesting there:<\/p>\n

The sound of freedom: Cuba\u2019s regime is running out of time \u2014 now the US must act<\/h2>\n

March 18, 2026<\/p>\n

A Cuban night is no longer quiet. It is filled with the metallic rhythm of thousands of families striking spoons against empty pots in the darkness. This is the sound of a funeral for a failed ideology. The brutal communist regime imposed on Cuba by the Castro family is collapsing in real time. Its economy is in free fall, its people are hungry and the dictatorship is running out of money and fuel. …<\/p>\n

Thanks to the leadership of President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0and Secretary of State\u00a0Marco Rubio<\/a>, the United States has restored a clear policy toward authoritarian regimes.\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

Every night, thousands of Cubans take to the streets in towns across the island. In the City of Moron on the eastern side of the island, the townspeople even set\u00a0fire to the Communist Party\u2019s<\/a> headquarters during a massive protest. …<\/p>\n

This moment demands clarity and resolve from the United States. We are closer than ever to ending the tyranny imposed by the Castro family and their loyal enforcers in Havana, but only if we maintain a firm strategy. …<\/p>\n

More than 1,400 political prisoners remain behind bars, patriots whose only crime was demanding freedom. President Donald Trump has an opportunity to help change the course of history. If the regime once again resorts to massacring its own people, as it has in the past, the United States must make clear that such brutality will not be tolerated. https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/sound-freedom-cubas-regime-running-out-time-the-us-must-act<\/a><\/p>\n

President\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0escalated his\u00a0threats to seize Cuba\u00a0<\/a>this week \u2014\u00a0raising questions about whether he might seek to topple the Communist Caribbean island’s leader Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel.<\/p>\n

The big picture:\u00a0<\/strong>As Cuba’s totalitarian government faces a deepening energy crisis that saw an island-wide\u00a0blackout<\/a>\u00a0amid a U.S.-imposed oil blockade, Trump\u00a0told<\/a> reporters Monday he believes he’ll be “having the honor of taking” the island. …<\/p>\n

What’s different about these protests compared to\u00a0previous ones<\/a>\u00a0is “the geopolitical context has changed” and the blackout was due to oil rationing, Adrian Hearn, a professor of Latin American Studies at Australia’s University of Melbourne who has years of research\u00a0experience<\/a> in Cuba, …<\/p>\n
