"Cuba is a failing nation. It has been for a long time but now it doesn't have Venezuela to prop it up. So we're talking to the people from Cuba, the highest people in Cuba, to see what happens, Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. I think we're going to make a deal with Cuba."
"It doesn't have to be a humanitarian crisis. I think they probably would come to us and want to make a deal They have a situation that's very bad for Cuba. They have no money. They have no oil. They lived off Venezuelan money and oil, and none of that's coming now."
"NO MORE OIL OR MONEY FOR CUBA: ZERO!"
Washington is negotiating with Havana's highest leaders to strike a deal as Cuba faces acute economic collapse following loss of Venezuelan support. The US president said Cuba lacks money and oil and suggested a deal could avert a humanitarian crisis. The administration has increased pressure after Venezuela’s leader, Nicolas Maduro, was ousted, and has threatened additional tariffs on countries selling oil to Cuba. Long petrol queues and power cuts have intensified on the island. The president and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have signalled they seek regime change and warned Havana to reach a deal or face unspecified consequences.
