But his foreign policy has grown more assertive this year \u2014 he ordered a military operation in January <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/venezuela-us-military-strikes-maduro-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro<\/a><\/span>, and just under two months later, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/iran-war-israel-kills-larijani-eu-rejects-trump-strait-of-hormuz-oil-gas-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">he launched<\/a><\/span> a war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the Trump administration <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-threatens-tariffs-countries-sell-oil-cuba\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">threatened tariffs<\/a><\/span> on any countries that sell oil to Cuba, causing petroleum shipments to the island to essentially grind to a halt. The move aggravated the country&#8217;s existing energy crises and triggered widespread fuel shortages. The country <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cuba-national-energy-grid-nationwide-blackout\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">faced island-wide power blackouts<\/a><\/span> this week, and protests were <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-mexico-cuba-oil\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">reported last week<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, federal prosecutors in Miami are targeting Cuban leaders for possible prosecution on economic, drug, violent and immigration offenses, CBS News <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-attorney-targeting-cuban-communist-leaders\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">reported earlier this month<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In January, a U.S. official <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-mexico-cuba-oil\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS News<\/a><\/span> that the U.S. does not seek to trigger a collapse of the Cuban government, but rather seeks to negotiate with Havana to transition away from its authoritarian communist system.<\/p>\n<p>One of Cuba&#8217;s top economic officials <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cuba-investment-us-nationals-trump-pressure-oil-shortages\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">announced Monday<\/a><\/span> that the country is planning to let Cuban nationals who live abroad \u2014 including in the U.S. \u2014 invest in companies on the island, in an apparent concession for a country that has had a largely state-controlled economy for decades. It&#8217;s not clear whether the move will lead to much new investment, given the tight U.S. sanctions that make it difficult for Americans to do business with Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the move doesn&#8217;t go far enough.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cuba has an economy that doesn&#8217;t work and a political and governmental system that can&#8217;t fix it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So they have to change dramatically. What they announced yesterday is not dramatic enough. It&#8217;s not going to fix it. So they&#8217;ve got some big decisions to make over there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
