Following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, President Trump is pressuring Cuba to "make a deal," threatening consequences if they don't. Trump stated that Cuba will no longer receive Venezuelan oil or money, ending a long-standing arrangement where Cuba provided security services. Cuba's foreign minister insists on the nation's right to import fuel without interference, rejecting blackmail or military coercion. The US has been seizing oil tankers to worsen Cuba's fuel crisis.
