Donald Trump warns Cuban authorities
Earlier on Sunday, Trump warned Cuban authorities that they would no longer receive money and oil from Venezuela as they had in recent years, and suggested they make a deal with him before it is too late.
“Cuba lived for many years on massive amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided 'security services' to Venezuela's last two dictators, BUT NO LONGER! Most of these Cubans DIED in the US attack last week, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from the bandits and extortionists who have kept it in check for so many years,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.
