On Sunday, US President Donald Trump warned that Cuba would no longer receive funds or oil from Venezuela and proposed that the island nation reach an agreement with Washington.
Although Venezuela is Cuba’s largest oil supplier, Trump has been successful in pressuring interim President Delcy Rodríguez to ship Venezuelan oil to the US since US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. There will be absolutely no more money or oil going to Cuba. Trump posted on his social media site Truth Social on Sunday, saying, “I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”
“For many years, Cuba relied heavily on money and oil from Venezuela,” he said.
Although US intelligence has presented a dire image of Cuba’s political and economic circumstances, its analyses do not conclusively validate Trump’s assessment that the island is “ready to fall.” Three people with knowledge of the private evaluation were cited in the Reuters story.

Cuba has the legal and sovereign right to buy oil from any willing exporter. Report according to Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez. He emphasized that Washington has no right to meddle in the nation’s trade dealings.
Accusing the US of behaving in a “criminal manner,” Rodriguez said that such activities endanger regional and international peace. He declared that Cuba will continue to protect its independence and sovereignty. They would not give in to economic or political pressure.
President Trump expresses his approval of Marco Rubio for Cuba
President Donald Trump expressed his approval of Secretary of State Marco Ruby of taking on the role of President of Cuba. It happened after escalating tensions between the US and Latin American Nations.
“Sounds good to me!” Trump wrote after sharing a post asserting that Marco Rubio would lead Cuba. Beyond this hyperbole, there is little proof that this reflects any official US policy or diplomatic strategy.
