Officials in Cuba report an island-wide blackout in the country of some 11 million people as its energy and economic crises deepen. The Ministry of Energy and Mines notes a “complete disconnection” of the country’s electrical system and says it is investigating. President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Friday warned that the island had not received oil shipments in more than three months and that it was operating on solar power, natural gas and thermoelectric plants. Cuba has blamed its woes on a U.S. energy blockade. President Donald Trump warned in January of tariffs on any country that would sell or provide oil to the island.
President Donald Trump says that he has demanded about seven countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, as Iranian strikes continued to rain down on Gulf countries. Dubai International Airport — the world’s busiest — suspended operations early Monday after a drone struck a fuel tank, starting a fire. Authorities said it was quickly contained and no injuries were reported. Tehran has accused the United States of using “ports, docks and hideouts” in the United Arab Emirates to launch strikes on Kharg Island, home to the main terminal handling Iran’s oil exports, without providing evidence, as oil prices soared.

President Donald Trump's decision to replace Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gives him an opportunity to reset his mass deportation agenda — or to double down on a campaign promise. The White House's political director encouraged Republican lawmakers to focus on immigration enforcement among criminals, a pivot from the mass deportations the president ran on. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the operations have created a “hiccup” for the party. But all indications are that Trump’s mass deportation operation is not stalling out but intensifying. Trump's nominee to take over the department, Markwayne Mullin, will face questions at a Senate confirmation hearing this week.
