Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that Cuba is now at risk of instability following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Trump made the remarks while addressing reporters, linking Maduro’s arrest to potential political repercussions for Cuba.

According to Trump, the move demonstrates America’s ability to act decisively against regimes it perceives as hostile, and he suggested that Cuba’s government could face similar pressure in the wake of Maduro’s capture. He described the situation as a pivotal moment in regional politics.

The capture of Maduro has sparked widespread international attention, with countries including Russia, Iran, and China reacting strongly. Trump emphasized that the operation sent a clear message about US intentions to confront corruption and perceived threats in Latin America.

Analysts warn, however, that Trump’s statements may escalate tensions in the region, as Cuba has historically maintained close ties with Venezuela. The developments have drawn criticism and concern from multiple nations regarding the stability of the region.
