Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete collapse as the Trump Administration prepares to take action on the island country.
“Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country’s power operator,” CNN’s Brianna Keilar.
“It’s the 1st nationwide blackout since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba,” she said.

President Trump told reporters on Sunday evening that he will finish dealing with Cuba “soon.”
“Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do,” Trump told Bloomberg’s Jeff Mason during a gaggle on Air Force One.
“We’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba,” he said.
“They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” Trump added.
“You know, people have been waiting 50 years to hear this story with Cuba, and when I left Palm Beach today, there were thousands of people in the road. I’m sure you saw them, and they were from Cuba and from Venezuela, all friendly, all friendly, waving the flag and waving the American flag,” he said.
“They’ve been waiting 50 years for what’s happening with Cuba. So, I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” Trump said.
