According to the sources, the Trump administration views the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro as a model.

Following the successful US military operation in Venezuela, in which President Nicolás Maduro was arrested, the Trump administration strengthened its position and is now actively working to overthrow the Cuban leadership.

Sources speaking to the Wall Street Journal said the goal is to overthrow the Cuban leadership before the end of this year.

According to the information, the Trump administration is currently seeking individuals within the Cuban government who could help facilitate an agreement to overthrow the government.

The sources said the Trump administration believes the Cuban economy is close to collapse and that, after losing a key ally like Maduro, the government has never been this fragile.

There is no concrete plan on how to overthrow the Cuban government, which has been in power for nearly seventy years. However, according to the newspaper, senior US officials see Maduro’s capture as a model and a warning for Cuba.

On January 11, US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Cuba should listen to the demands.

In his post, Trump wrote: “I strongly recommend that they make a deal before it is too late.”

He also added that “no more oil or money” would go to Cuba.

According to the sources, the Trump administration held meetings with Cuban exiles and civil society groups in Miami and Washington, focusing on identifying anyone within the current government who might be willing to make a deal.
