"Cuba, a major beneficiary of Venezuelan oil, has now been cut off from those shipments as U.S. forces continue to seize tankers in an effort to control the production, refining and global distribution of the country's oil products. Trump said on social media that Cuba long lived off Venezuelan oil and money and had offered security in return, "BUT NOT ANYMORE!""
"The Cuban government said 32 of its military personnel were killed during the American operation last weekend that captured Maduro. The personnel from Cuba's two main security agencies were in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, as part of an agreement between Cuba and Venezuela. "Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years," Trump said Sunday. "Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will.""
