Trump Warns Cuba: 'Make A Deal, Before It Is Too Late'
Trump warned Cuba to negotiate with the U.S. as Venezuelan oil shipments ceased, a move that disrupts half of Cuba’s oil supply, intensifying its economic crisis.
- On Jan 11, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Cuba to negotiate with Washington and warned Havana it would lose Venezuelan oil and financial support unless it agreed to U.S. terms.
- Longstanding ties show Cuba relied on Venezuelan oil averaging 27,000 barrels per day, covering roughly 50% of its oil deficit, while Havana provided 'Security Services' to Venezuelan governments, a relationship Trump says has ended.
- Trump added in a follow-up post that 'THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE' on Truth Social, claiming many Cuban personnel were killed last week.
- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the U.S. actions are 'an act of state terrorism' and 'a shocking violation of the norms of international law', while analysts warned the loss of Venezuelan oil would devastate power and fuel supplies.
- Following the Jan. 3 operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, observers say the ultimatum signals a revived hardline U.S. approach that could deepen strains in U.S.–Cuba relations.
