Washington DC:President Donald Trump has announced upcoming talks with Cuba, labeling the communist-ruled nation a ‘failed country’ that is "asking for help". This diplomatic shift follows a period of extreme pressure, including a U.S. fuel blockade and new economic sanctions targeting key sectors of the Cuban economy.

The island has faced deepening isolation and frequent power cuts since the fall of its key regional ally, Nicolas Maduro, which severed Cuba's primary fuel supply route from Venezuela.

While Trump has not provided specific details regarding the talks, his previous statements about "taking over" the island "almost immediately" have fueled speculation in Washington about a potential drive for regime change.
