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.”

    More distractions from the Epstein files. He is so terrified that people will find out he raped children.

      Those files don’t matter anymore. This is Miller telling Trump what he should do to be remembered as some powerful president.

      I’m pretty sure he’s just completely moved on from epstein. He’s ramping up even more ICE, he’s invaded a foreign country, is threatening many others, and is seemingly continuing on course. It’s to late for the epstein files to matter at this point, not to mention the more pressing concern that is him giving blanket permission to ICE to start murdering anybody in their way.

      If throwing his newborn baby by a 13 year old overboard is any indicator, I’m sure those files will reveal much darker entertainment tbat he engaged in.
