US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the United States could take control of Cuba “almost immediately,” amid escalating tensions between the two nations. His remarks come during a broader strategy of increased pressure on Havana, including sanctions and an economic blockade that has worsened Cuba’s crisis.

The statements have raised international concerns over sovereignty and possible military intervention, while Cuba continues to reject US pressure and defend its independence.
