Cuba’s national electric grid has collapsed, plunging nearly the entire island into darkness and leaving an estimated 10 million people without power.
Officials say the outage comes amid a worsening energy crisis, fueled in part by fuel shortages linked to a long-standing U.S. oil blockade. The blackout has disrupted daily life across the country, affecting hospitals, transportation, and communications.
Authorities are working to restore electricity, but it remains unclear how long the recovery will take. Residents have been urged to conserve fuel and prepare for continued outages.
The collapse highlights the fragile state of Cuba’s aging infrastructure as the nation grapples with ongoing economic challenges.
President Donald Trump is intensifying his rhetoric toward Cuba, telling reporters at the White House that he believes he will have the “honor” of taking control of the country “in some form.”
The remarks mark a significant escalation in tone as tensions between the United States and Cuba continue to rise. Trump did not provide specifics on what such a move would entail, but the statement is already drawing attention from foreign policy experts and international leaders.
The comments come at a time of deepening crisis on the island, including widespread power outages and ongoing economic strain. Analysts say the situation could further complicate already fragile relations between Washington and Havana.
It remains unclear what concrete actions, if any, could follow the president’s remarks, but the statement underscores a more aggressive posture toward Cuba moving forward.

Over the weekend, Tucker Carlson released a video claiming that the CIA has been spying on his text messages. This came after President Trump, earlier this month, said that Carlson "has lost his way" and is "not MAGA." Meanwhile, close Carlson ally Megyn Kelly continued her own descent into clicks-chasing lunacy by spending her Sunday obsessively posting about alleged certain features of Mark Levin's more private anatomy.
What is going on here? Is Carlson actually an Iranian asset?
Trump, Josh argues, is finally settling MAGA's family business. It's great to see. But it doesn't necessarily mean the disgraced podcaster "right" will slow down any time soon. Because they do have a plan in mind—and it involves the 2028 election and beyond. Josh explains what that plan is. Finally, Josh also provides the latest updates on Operation Epic Fury, the continued DHS funding standoff, and more.

President Donald Trump says he has demanded that several countries join a coalition to help protect the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route.
Roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil flows through the key waterway, making it vital to international energy markets.
Trump says nations that rely heavily on Middle East oil should help police the strait, though he did not name the countries involved.
He says discussions are underway as concerns grow over ongoing disruptions in the region.
Negotiations are beginning on the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a pact that governs more than $1.6 trillion in annual trade between the three countries.
The deal allows much of the commerce across North America to move duty-free, supporting industries ranging from agriculture to manufacturing.
But President Donald Trump is pushing for changes to the agreement and has said the United States could withdraw if a new deal is not reached.
U.S. and Mexican officials are starting talks this week, with Canada expected to join discussions later.
The U.S. military has identified the six service members killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq last week.
Officials say the crew members were assigned to National Guard and Air Force units in Alabama, Florida and Ohio.
U.S. Central Command says the crash occurred in friendly airspace during operations connected to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
The KC-135 plays a critical role in refueling aircraft midair and supporting missions across the region.
