Trump has been turning his attention to Cuba since US forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

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.”

    Trump said: "Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last week’s USA attack, and Venezuela doesn’t need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years.

    “Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will.”

    As long as they bend the knee and always pay their protection money
