Trump tells Cuba to make a deal with US 'before it is too late'

President Donald Trump on Sunday in a Truth Social post urged Cuba to make a deal with the United States "BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE" following the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

"Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela," Trump said. "In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last weeks U.S.A. attack, and Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years."

The Cuban government reported 32 Cuban military personnel were killed in the U.S. strike used to capture Maduro. Venezuela's interior minister Diosdado Cabello said last week 100 people died in the attack.

Venezuela reportedly sent 30,000 to 35,000 barrel of oil to Cuba per day. However, Trump wrote that "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO!"

or never knew in the first place that the US signed a treaty after the Cuban Missile Crisis to not invade Cuba after the removal of the missiles.

Or is that treaty as worthless as the agreement that Russia made with Ukraine as they surrendered all the nuclear weapons on their territory to Russia after the breakup of the USSR to never invade the UKR?
