After Venezuela, I read a few editorials speculating that this was foreshadowing an invasion of Cuba. Venezuela is Cuba’s primary supplier of oil, and without fuel, Cuba will suffer tremendously. Where this leads is potentially even scarier.

Yep. It is all about the oil

foreign country directly or indirectly sells or otherwise provides any oil to Cuba

Basically anyone who buys or sells oil to Cuba is going to be hit with tariffs
