The Trump administration is exploring the possibility of a naval blockade of Cuba to stop oil imports.

The Trump administration is considering a naval blockade to stop Cuban oil imports, Politico reports.

The publication writes that the White House is considering new tactics to carry out regime change in Cuba, including imposing a complete blockade on oil imports to the Caribbean country.

Some critics of the Cuban government within the administration had been pushing for such an escalation, and it was supported by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the sources said.

A decision on whether to approve the move has not yet been made, but the sources said it could be one of several possible courses of action presented to Trump to overthrow Cuba's communist government.
