Trump Urges Cuba To Strike Deal With US "Before It's Too Late" After Oil, Money Cut Off From Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump on Jan. 11 told Cuba that it should forge a deal with the United States now that Washington has pushed Venezuela to cut off its supply of oil and money to the communist-run island.
After the U.S. military captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3, interim Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez has redirected oil deliveries to the United States.
Cutting off Venezuelan oil supply to Cuba, which has historically relied on support from Caracas, would apply significant pressure to the Caribbean country, which has been under communist control since Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.
"Cuba 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!” Trump wrote on social media, referring to the Cuban security forces who were killed dur...

This warning comes a week after American military forces conducted a mission in the capital city of Caracas to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The pair has since pleaded not guilty in a New York courtroom to a range of federal charges, including narco-terrorism.
Although international flights to and from Venezuela have resumed, the United States is warning all Americans in the country to take precautions, be aware of their surroundings, and remain vigilant when traveling by road.

Trump rät Kuba zu Deal ′bevor es zu spät ist′ (DPA-AFX)
|
|
|
Nach der Verhaftung des venezolanischen Staatschefs Nicolás Maduro hat US-Präsident Donald Trump gegen dessen Verbündeten Kuba eine Warnung ausgesprochen. "Ich empfehle dringend, dass sie einen Deal machen, BEVOR ES ZU SPÄT IST", schrieb Trump auf seiner Plattform Truth Social mit Verweis auf die Regierung des sozialistischen Karibikstaates. Es war unklar, welche Art von "Deal" er meinte. Da Venezuela nun vom US-Militär beschützt werde, brauche das südamerikanische Land keine Sicherheitsdienstleistungen mehr aus Havanna. "ES WIRD KEIN ÖL UND KEIN GELD MEHR NACH KUBA FLIESSEN - NULL!"
