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 Nicolás 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.”
Epstein might end trump (often it is the weird hateful obsessions that end people, see: Charlie Kirk) the problem is it doesn’t really affect his support base. I don’t think there’s a scandal that can affect trump’s support base because they are very selective about the facts they want to believe.
