Cuba Sandwiched
Flattened by Sanctions and Vanishing Venezuelan Oil, Cuba Teeters on Collapse

Guest Pitch: Former Congressman Jim Renacci on Cuba’s Imminent Economic Collapse & U.S. Leverage
AVAILABLE GUEST: Former Congressman Jim Renacci (R-OH)
Former House Ways & Means Committee member | Business executive | National political commentator
TOPIC: Cuba on the Brink: Economic Collapse, Oil Leverage, and America’s Strategic Moment
Cuba is facing its most severe economic crisis in decades — and for the first time, the United States holds the leverage.
With Venezuela’s discounted oil now blocked, Russia financially constrained, China unwilling to subsidize Havana’s failures, and Mexico’s oil lifeline under growing U.S. pressure, Cuba is rapidly running out of options. Inflation exceeds 26%, GDP has shrunk by double digits, blackouts are routine, and nearly one-quarter of the population has fled since 2020.
Former Congressman Jim Renacci is available to explain why this moment matters — and what the U.S. should (and should not) do next.
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
- Cuba is weeks, not years, from systemic economic collapse
- Russia cannot replace Venezuelan oil; China won’t bankroll a failed dictatorship
- The U.S. is already Cuba’s third-largest trading partner, despite sanctions
- President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are signaling a potential deal-or-collapse choice for Havana
- China’s intelligence operations in Cuba put U.S. national security directly at stake
TALKING POINTS
- Why Cuba’s economic model is finally breaking — and why this time is different
- How U.S. control of Venezuelan oil reshapes the geopolitical chessboard
- Why sanctions alone won’t topple the regime — and what will
- The China–Cuba intelligence threat just 90 miles from Florida
- What a “real deal” with Cuba would require — and what America must demand in return
- Why the Cuban people — not foreign dictators — ultimately decide the regime’s fate
