Trump has repeatedly said that he believes the Cuban regime is ready to collapse.
In an apparent attempt to eliminate it, he imposed an energy blockade on the Caribbean nation.
The Cuban state has not received any oil shipments since January 9, forcing airlines to reduce or suspend flights to the island and deepening a long-running economic crisis.
Havana accused Trump of strangling Cuba’s economy.
The island, under a US trade embargo since 1962, has been in dire straits over the years with prolonged power outages and shortages of fuel, medicine and food.
Washington recently eased its oil blockade slightly to allow private companies to import small amounts of oil into Cuba.
On Wednesday, two-thirds of the island was hit by blackouts after a malfunction at the Antonio Guiteras power plant, the island’s largest.
