The White House is reportedly considering a total blockade of Cuba’s oil imports as a measure to instigate regime change in the Caribbean nation, according to a report by Politico on Friday.

• Cuba imports approximately 60 percent of its oil supply, making it vulnerable to such a blockade.
• The Trump administration is debating this option, though no final decision has been made.
• A similar "total and complete blockade" was ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump in mid-December 2025 against all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela.
