Trump Tells Cuba to "Make a Deal, before It Is Too Late"

Sunday, January 11, 2026

Donald Trump has urged Cuba to "make a deal" or face consequences, warning that the flow of Venezuelan oil and money would now stop. The US president has been turning his attention to Cuba since US forces seized Venezuela's leader Nicols Maduro in a 3 January raid on its capital, Caracas. Venezuela, a long-standing ally of Cuba, is believed to send around 35,000 barrels of oil a day to the island. Cuba's foreign minister responded by saying his nation retained the right to import fuel "without interference", while its president said: "No one dictates what we do."

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated last week that Cuba's leaders should be worried, saying that he would be "concerned" if he were in the Cuban government and that "they're in a lot of trouble".

On Sunday, Trump also re-posted on social media a message suggesting that Rubio -- a Cuban-American former Florida senator and the son of Cuban exiles -- could become president of Cuba.

Trump shared that post with the comment: "Sounds good to me!"

Funny, and it doesn't even show his schoolboy shorts and tiny cowboy boots.

Misread that as Cubs. Wasn't the least bit surprised that Trump was giving a baseball team advice on signing a player.

Of course he has the moral authority, every President has the moral authority to point fingers at Cuba .... LOL

Cuba and Lumpers in general seem to support oppressing law abiding citizens, ignoring the overthrow of Islamic Regimes, and letting the psychos out of prison.

Lumpers are literally upside down to Western values of Freedom and Democracy.

China boy teaching us about Western values of freedom and democracy... rather than staying home and working for those things in his own country... and intending to give his DNA to Chinese Security so he can go back there and retire.

That's rich.
