Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Tells Cuba To Make A Deal Before It Is Too Late
Caption: Trump Tells Cuba To Make A Deal Before It Is Too Late. U.S. President Donald Trump issues a stark warning to Cuba, urging the island nation to “make a deal” or face escalating consequences. Trump says the long-standing flow of oil and financial support from Venezuela will now come to an end, cutting off a vital lifeline for Havana. Cuba has relied for years on Venezuelan crude, receiving tens of thousands of barrels a day in exchange for political and security cooperation. The warning follows a dramatic shift in U.S. policy after American forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in a January operation in Caracas. Since then, Washington has stepped up enforcement by seizing oil tankers carrying sanctioned Venezuelan fuel, worsening Cuba’s fuel and electricity shortages. Posting on Truth Social, Trump says there will be “no more oil or money” going to Cuba, adding that the country should act before it is too late. Cuba’s foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez rejects the warning, insisting Cuba has the sovereign right to import fuel without U.S. interference while the country’s president Miguel Díaz-Canel, stresses that no outside power dictates Cuba’s decisions.
