'Cuba is not Venezuela': Trump's takeover threat collides with 'disciplined revolutionary state'
As Donald Trump threatens to take over Cuba, following the forced collapse of their national electric grid, Mark Owen welcomes Christopher Sabatini, Senior Research Fellow for Latin America Programme at the Chatham House. What we are witnessing today, explains Mr. Sabatini, is not an isolated infrastructural failure, but the convergence of long-standing structural weaknesses and acute geopolitical pressure. Cuba's centralised, deeply entrenched governance structure resists rapid change. Any attempt to force transition from the outside risks producing instability rather than reform.
