After Trump’s threat, Cuba issues BIG warning to US, says ‘no one dictates to us…, ready to…’

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel issued a stern warning to US President Donald Trump, stating that Washington does not have the moral authority to force Cuba into a deal following its intervention in Venezuela. While Diaz-Canel rejected Trump’s threat to cut off oil and money to Cuba, “Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign nation. No one can dictate what we do.” he said.

Cuba broke its silence against Trump’s threat

Following Trump’s warning that “No more Venezuelan oil and money will go to Cuba,” Diaz-Canel said: “Those who trade everything, even human lives, have no moral authority to criticize Cuba on anything, absolutely nothing. Those who are now spewing hysterical attacks against our nation do so in a state of rage, because of these people’s sovereign decision to choose their own political model.”

Cuban President: “Those who hold the Revolution responsible for the serious economic difficulties we are suffering should be silenced with shame. Because they know and accept that these are the result of the extremely suffocating, brutal measures that the United States has imposed on us for sixty years and now threatens to intensify even more.” “Cuba does not attack, it has been attacked by the USA for 66 years, it does not threaten, it prepares itself, it is ready to defend its homeland to the last drop of its blood.”

Even Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said that the country has the right to buy oil from any country that wants to export it without US intervention. He accused the US of behaving in a ‘criminal’ manner and threatening global peace with its actions. “The Cuban government will not be subject to US blackmail or military pressure,” he said, according to Reuters.

Trump warns Cuba about Venezuelan oil

Previously, Trump claimed in his social media post that no more oil or money would go to Cuba. In his post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Cuba lived for many years with large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided “Security Services” to the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE!” he wrote.

“Most of the Cubans KILLED in last week’s US attack, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from the bandits and usurpers who held them hostage for so many years. Venezuela now has the United States of America, the strongest military in the world (by far!) to protect them, and we will too,” he added: “THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO! I strongly recommend that we protect them.” “Make a deal BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, thank you for your interest in this matter,” he added.

Venezuela, meanwhile, is Cuba’s biggest oil supplier, but no cargo has left Venezuelan ports for the Caribbean nation since Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was captured by U.S. forces in early January during a strict U.S. oil blockade of the OPEC nation, shipping data show, according to Reuters.
