The recent comments by Trump on taking Cuba highlight the ongoing tensions between the US and Cuba, which have been exacerbated by decades of US economic and trade embargoes. This narrative overlooks the historical context of US-Cuba relations, including the CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion and the US-backed Cuban exile community. The current situation is a result of the US's failed attempts to isolate Cuba and undermine its socialist government.
