Evidence
“Michael Bustamante, a Cuba expert at the University of Miami, feared a dangerous 'game of chicken' was under way, as the Trump administration starves the island of fuel while a dogmatic regime refuses to give in. 'The question is who’s going to blink first, and how deep a price the Cuban people are going to have to pay while that game plays out,' he said. ... On Monday, the New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the Trump administration’s actions were symptomatic of a 'new era of depravity'. Protection for innocent civilians seemed to have been forgotten as a power contest unfolded, she said. 'Now it’s almost acceptable for the western world to look the other way as people are starved or deprived simply because political actors or regimes in that country are found objectionable.' Just how a fuel blockade might lead to regime change has not been explained by Washington.”
