Mr. Trump is eyeing a change in Cuba after he raided Venezuela to capture President Nicolas Maduro and extradite him to the U.S. to face drug-trafficking charges.
The president is deploying a so-called “Don-roe Doctrine” in which the U.S. is the main force in the Western Hemisphere and boxes out foreign intervention.
The U.S. has wielded a trade embargo against Cuba for six decades. But Mr. Trump ramped up the pain by threatening to punish countries like Mexico for any oil shipments to Havana.
