Context
Earlier, US President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency due to a threat from Cuba, introducing a new tariff system. This will allow the US to impose tariffs on goods from countries that supply oil to Cuba. The state of emergency was introduced "amid a deep economic crisis in Cuba," where mass power outages and food shortages have begun due to a lack of fuel.
Trump openly called on the Iranian and Cuban authorities to "make a deal before it's too late," hinting at the possibility of even tougher measures if democratic reforms are rejected.
