An agreement before it is too late.. Trump continues to escalate his threats to Cuba
The American President threatened Donald Trump Cuba, calling it to"Reach an agreement" Or face unspecified consequences.
Cuba, which is located near Florida, is a historic adversary of the United States and an ally of Caracas for decades, but Trump has escalated his threatening tone in recent days, especially after Washington’s ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform: "Cuba will receive no more Oil or money – nothing"adding "I strongly suggest reaching an agreement before it is too late"
Trump did not provide any details about the nature of the agreement he intended or what it would achieve.
Cuba is on the verge of falling
Trump’s statements come a week after Washington announced that it had arrested Maduro during a military operation it carried out in Caracas that resulted in the killing of dozens of Venezuelans and members of the Cuban security forces.
The US President had previously said a week ago that Cuba "About to fall"pointing to the worsening economic crisis there, and the difficulty of Havana’s survival without Venezuelan oil, which is largely subsidized.
On Sunday, Trump re-posted a message on social media suggesting that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, born to Cuban immigrant parents, might become the next president of Cuba.
Trump commented on the post, saying: "This sounds good to me"
Security services for Maduro
In another message shortly after that, Trump said: "Cuba lived for many years on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela, and in return, it provided security services to the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore.".
He pointed out that "Most of those Cubans were killed in the US attack last week, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from the mobs and extortionists who have held Venezuelans hostage for many years.".
