Countries on Trump's Radar

Mexico: Border and Narcotics Issues

Trump's administration has long been critical of Mexico's handling of narcotics and illegal immigration. Recent statements suggest continued pressure on Mexico, with Trump threatening unspecified actions against narcotics trafficking.

Cuba: Economic Vulnerability

Cuba's economic ties to Venezuela make it vulnerable following the U.S. operation there. Trump suggests that Cuba's economy could collapse without Venezuelan support, potentially altering the political landscape.
