Wahala don dey brew as Trump don sign executive order wey go fit hit countries wey dey supply oil to Cuba. E no get as e dey sweet for Havana, as tension dey rise. Na wetin happen when president wey no dey gree lose mouth dey threaten to impose tariffs on those wey dey support Cuba with oil.
Last week, Trump yan say Cuba na unusual threat to America, and him don catch fire to take action. E don dey target countries wey dey sell oil to Cuba anyhow, but him no talk exactly who go collect wahala for this plan. Na like play, like say Cuba go soon dey fall, Trump dey talk am, especially since Venezuela don cut dem off supply.
As we sabi, Cuba dey rely heavily on Venezuelan oil, but after the U.S. forces carry their president, Maduro, waka come New York, e be like say oil supply don dry up. Cuba dey face serious issues like rolling blackout and economic wahala, with black market price of goods dey soar high. Na so e be when hunger dey bite, wahala dey increase.
Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez don reply Trump for social media, him dey vex say this na brutal act of aggression wey no make sense. E talk say na America dey cause the real trouble for Cuba. Dem don dey experience longest blockade wey e no go end anytime soon, and wahala dey plenty.
Trump don use this new order, wey e rant on Thursday, as a way to show say he dey serious about correcting wetin e see as a threat to national security. E mention say Cuba dey align with Russia and other countries wey dey share bad blood with America, like Hamas and Hezbollah, and e no dey happy with am.
According to the White House, dis action don dey come because them notice say Cuba dey try to do business with these so-called hostile powers. But one thing wey we go suspect be say Mexico, wey don dey supply plenty oil to Cuba, don talk say dem still dey consider their humanitarian help. Mexico no wan hear say dem dey pressured.
Wetin go happen next? Time go tell. Cuba dey try survive without enough oil support as pressure dey mount from the U.S. and Trump don dey play like say Cuba go need manage options before e too late. Na by force be this?
