"THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA ZERO! Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. He provided no details about what form such a deal could take. Venezuela is Cuba's biggest oil supplier but amid a strict US oil blockade, shipping data shows that no cargoes have left Venezuelan ports headed to the Caribbean country since last week's capture of Maduro by US forces."
"In a separate message soon afterwards, Trump said Cuba had lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last week's USA attack, and Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years."
Cuba was warned to make a deal or face unspecified consequences and to expect an end to Venezuelan oil and financial flows. A social media message declared there would be no more oil or money going to Cuba and urged a deal before it is too late without specifying terms. Venezuelan shipments to Cuba appear halted amid a strict US oil blockade after the capture of Maduro and a US raid that killed dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban security personnel. Cuba depends heavily on Venezuelan oil, faces deep economic strain, and asserts it was not compensated for security services while defending the right to import fuel and accusing the US of criminal behavior.
