US president declares he can do ‘anything I want’ after oil blockade plunges country into darkness

Donald Trump expects to have “the honour of taking Cuba”, he declared, after a US-imposed oil blockade plunged the country into darkness under a total power blackout.

The US president claimed on Monday that he could do “anything I want” with Cuba, amid US negotiations with Havana over the country’s future.
