On January 11th, US President Trump posted a statement saying that for years, Cuba has relied on Venezuela's vast oil and financial resources to function. In return, Cuba provided "security services" to Venezuela's two previous dictators—but all of that is coming to an end! Last week's US-led attacks have killed most of the "Cubans," and Venezuela no longer needs the protection of these thugs and blackmailers who have held it hostage for years. Now Venezuela has the world's most powerful military force—the United States—to protect them, and we will fulfill our duty to safeguard them. There will be no more oil and money flowing to Cuba—zero flow! I strongly urge (Cuba) to reach an agreement quickly, lest it be too late.

US President Trump: For years, Cuba has relied on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela to function. But now there will be no more oil and money flowing to Cuba. I strongly urge them to reach an agreement quickly, lest it be too late.
