Trump's Comments on Cuba

Earlier today, Trump urged Cuba to reach an agreement with the United States, warning that the country would no longer receive oil or financial support. He stated on his platform:
"No oil or money for Cuba—zero! I strongly advise them to make a deal before it's too late."
He pointed out that Cuba relies on oil and funds from Venezuela to provide security services for the last Venezuelan dictators, which he claims is no longer necessary as they are now protected by what he referred to as "the strongest army in the world."
