Analysis Summary
Trump's oil embargo on Cuba has worsened an ongoing energy crisis, leaving Havana's streets dark at night with closed theaters, bars, and restaurants. Power shortages have decimated nightlife and tourism — one of Cuba's few hard-currency income sources — forcing residents into darker evenings and cutting off entertainment-sector jobs. The blockade is part of broader Trump administration pressure; Cuba is pursuing solar expansion (now 10% of grid versus 3.6% in 2024) but faces years of lag before energy independence.
