Donald Trump has instituted a raft of measures meant to help topple the left-wing regimes of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua
, recognised as Venezuela’s interim president by the United States and more than 50 other countries, has called for the country’s biggest-ever street protests on May 1st. So far, neither mass demonstrations nor economic miseries have been able to dislodge the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro. Now President Donald Trump is adding an extra weapon: lawsuits directed at Cuba, Mr Maduro’s main supporter.
Removing Mr Maduro and ending communism in Cuba would be triumphs. Mr Bolton paints the prospect of “the first completely free hemisphere in human history”. Mr Maduro depends on Cuban spies to warn him of coup plots. Cuba gets cheap Venezuelan oil, which has propped up the economy and filled the gap left by the collapse of its previous benefactor, the Soviet Union. The mutual dependence makes sanctions on either a “two-fer”, weakening both regimes, says Mr Bolton.
The hard line is popular with Mr Trump’s base, especially in Florida, home to many émigrés from Cuba and Venezuela and a vital swing state. But what goes down a treat in Miami does not necessarily play well in Madrid or Montreal.The European Union and Canada have reacted angrily to the Title III change, calling its extraterritorial reach “contrary to international law” and threatening reprisals. Those could include referring the matter to the World Trade Organisation .
