US EditionTrump 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.
