"Cuba, a major beneficiary of Venezuelan oil, has now been cut off from those shipments as U.S. forces continue to seize tankers in an effort to control the production, refining and global distribution of the country's oil products. Trump said on social media that Cuba long lived off Venezuelan oil and money and had offered security in return, "BUT NOT ANYMORE!""
"The Cuban government said 32 of its military personnel were killed during the American operation last weekend that captured Maduro. The personnel from Cuba's two main security agencies were in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, as part of an agreement between Cuba and Venezuela. "Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years," Trump said Sunday."
U.S. forces have seized Venezuelan tankers and moved to control the nation's oil production, refining and global distribution, cutting off shipments that benefited Cuba. President Donald Trump warned that Cuba has long relied on Venezuelan oil and money and declared "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO!" The Cuban government reported 32 military personnel killed during the U.S. operation that captured Nicolás Maduro, noting those personnel were in Caracas under an agreement with Venezuela. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the U.S. stance, while Trump insisted the United States will protect Venezuela.
