On the 22nd (local time), the breaking business news account Walter Bloomberg reported that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is moving aggressively with the aim of replacing Cuba’s communist regime by the end of 2026.

According to the outlet, the Trump administration is pursuing a strategy to weaken the Cuban government and induce a political transition, building on what it described as the successful ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Cuba has long depended on Venezuela, but with Venezuelan support cut off, its economic vulnerability has increased—an issue cited as a key backdrop.

The administration is exploring negotiations, including efforts to make contact with figures inside Cuba seen as having the potential to facilitate a transition, while stepping up pressure on the current government. President Trump also issued a warning on social media to “make a deal before it’s too late.”

No specific implementation plan has been finalized, but White House officials said the United States will continue a range of diplomatic and policy pressure to pursue regime change in Cuba. The Cuban communist regime has been in power for nearly 70 years, and views remain divided among foreign policy and security experts over the prospect of a change in government.
