Cuba responds to Trump’s demand to cut deal: ‘No one dictates what we do’
President Díaz-Canel dismissed U.S. pressure to negotiate over Venezuelan oil, affirming Cuba's sovereignty and readiness to defend itself amid threats to cut off vital resources.
- On Sunday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel rejected President Donald Trump's demand that Cuba `make a deal` and warned Havana would lose Venezuelan oil and money, Trump said.
- Following a US operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Trump announced Venezuela will turn over 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the US, straining Havana's oil-dependent economy.
- Responding to accusations, Cuba rejected claims about Security Services and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez asserted the country's absolute right to import fuel without US interference, accusing the United States of acting like a criminal and uncontrolled hegemon.
- Havana residents voiced mixed reactions to Trump's threat, with Maria Elena Sabina telling Reuters, `The whole committee has to make a decision because it is the people who are suffering` and Paola Perez warning Cuba `will be affected, quite a lot`.
- Longstanding US aims for regime change mean it pressures one‑party socialist Cuba , while Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel says Cubans are prepared to defend the homeland.
