A rally condemning the U.S. is held in Havana, the Cuban capital.
Trump threatens to impose tariffs on countries trading oil with Cuba
“They were trying to change the regime by putting pressure on the Cuban economy right before its collapse.”
U.S. President Trump’s tariff threat is expanding across all fronts again.
Tariffs were imposed on countries doing oil trade with Cuba, and tariff threats were also brought out against Canada, with which there is a trade conflict.

Thousands of citizens march with torches in the Cuban capital Havana.
This event, attended by the Cuban president, was designed to solidify resolve in a situation where U.S. sanctions continue.

However, the United States is tightening its grip on the Cuban regime.
President Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on countries doing oil trade with Cuba, saying Cuba is a threat to U.S. national security.
In fact, it appears that they were aiming for a regime change by further putting pressure on the Cuban economy, which was on the verge of collapse.

President Trump again brought out the tariff card against Canada, which is causing a trade conflict.
He threatened to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian aircraft, claiming that Canada was blocking the import of American aircraft.
Previously, President Trump warned that he would impose ‘100% tariffs’ when Canada attempted to improve relations with China, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly protested, saying, “There is nothing normal in the United States right now.”
Many interpret that Trump, who is in crisis due to the violent Minnesota immigration crackdown, is seeking a breakthrough with the threat of tariffs.
