🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuba's government just admitted it has "absolutely no fuel left" Eastern Cuba cut off indefinitely. Havana residents enduring 19+ hour blackouts daily. 7 nationwide blackouts since 2024. 8 power plants, some 40 years old, collapsing one by one. Protests erupting across the capital, residents banging pots and pans, chanting "Turn on the lights."


🇺🇸🇨🇺 Trump is reportedly frustrated that Cuba's government is still standing… After months of sustained pressure, sanctions, and regime change efforts, Havana hasn't blinked. He's been pressing advisers on why the collapse hasn't happened. But Cuba has survived U.S. pressure for over 60 years, across 12 administrations. Economic strangulation alone has never toppled the regime. It's entrenched, accustomed to the pain, and knows how to play the long game. Venezuela made Trump think regime change is easy, but it was the exception. Source: NBC News




🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump posts about his China trip hours after calling Iran's peace proposal "a piece of garbage": "Great things will happen for both Countries!" Iran's oil goes to China. And now Trump is flying to meet the man profiting from both sides of this war while telling Tehran their deal isn't good enough. Whatever happens in Beijing will determine whether Iran gets squeezed harder or handed a lifeline. Xi holds the cards Trump won't admit he needs.


🇷🇺🇲🇱 Russia and Mali did a joint patrol in western Mali and found. nothing. No militants. No encampments. No hostile presence. The Africa Corps replaced French forces in 2021 with a promise to actually fix the security situation. 3 years later, they're filing clean patrol reports in a region that used to be on fire.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the Iran war has a good chance of ending and a deal could come before his China trip. - A deal before his May 14 summit with Xi is possible - Witkoff and Kushner are unlikely to be sent for talks - If no deal is reached, the U.S. reverts to its previous approach Source: PBS


🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇷 China just made clear the ceasefire must hold, and both sides must negotiate in good faith. Beijing is demanding Iran lift its Hormuz restrictions, and the U.S. lift its naval blockade, before talks can go anywhere serious. Trump visits China this month. If the Strait stays shut, that conversation gets very uncomfortable, very fast. Source: Al Jazeera
