Cuba's national electrical grid suffered a total collapse, causing a massive, island-wide blackout that left millions without power. This is reportedly the sixth such total blackout in the last year and a half. President Donald Trump seized on the crisis rhetorically, vowing to 'take' Cuba as the island deals with the effects of an oil embargo.
Cuba announced it will open to investment from its diaspora and US firms, a move coinciding with ongoing talks with the United States.
