Trump calls for end to Venezuelan oil and funds to Cuba

President Donald Trump announced that no Venezuelan oil or money will be sent to Cuba, urging the island to negotiate with the U.S. amid a strict blockade on Venezuela. Following the U.S. abduction of President Maduro, Cuba, reliant on Venezuelan oil for its energy needs, faces increasing pressure and fuel shortages. Cuban leaders rejected Trump’s threats, asserting their sovereignty, while U.S. public opinion calls for a focus on domestic issues rather than foreign conflicts. Despite the rhetoric, Cuba struggles to find alternative fuel sources as it continues to rely heavily on Venezuela.
