According to Politico, citing three sources familiar with the Odaily, the Trump administration is weighing new measures to push for regime change in Cuba, including a complete blockade of oil imports from the Caribbean nation. Two of the sources said the escalation was pushed by some within the administration who are critical of the Cuban government and has the support of Secretary of State Rubio. No decision has yet been made on whether to approve the move, but they added that it could be included in a package of options presented to Trump aimed at forcing the Cuban government to step down. Blocking crude oil shipments to Cuba would go further than Trump stated last week, when he said the U.S. would block Cuba from importing oil from Venezuela, which has previously been Cuba's main crude oil supplier.
