Trump Warns Cuba to Make Deal Before Losing US Oil and Financial Support

In a stern warning to Cuba, US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off the country's oil and financial aid unless it makes a deal with the US. Trump claimed that Cuba has long relied on oil and money from Venezuela, which he alleged the island nation used to provide security services for Venezuela's former dictators. The US President made his statement on social media, stating that Cuba would no longer receive oil or financial support unless it makes a deal with the US. He also expressed hope that the country's people would remember the US' role in releasing Venezuelan political prisoners, whom he credited as a "BIG WAY" of starting the process of releasing prisoners. Trump's statement comes after the US took action against Venezuela, and the country's military is now being protected by the US. Trump also shared a post from a user suggesting that Marco Rubio could become Cuba's President, to which he responded positively. Cuba's reliance on Venezuela has been a long-standing issue, and the US has long been critical of the two countries' close ties. Trump's warning to Cuba marks a significant escalation in the US' stance on the issue, and it remains to be seen how the country will respond.
