Cuban dictator Miguel Diaz-Canal has responded to President Trump’s threats against his communist regime.
Posting on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump warned that Cuba should “make a deal” with the United States in the wake of his successful military operation in Venezuela.
Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. 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.
Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will. THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Diaz-Canel responded to Trump by saying he would defend the communist regime “to the last drop of blood.”
“Those who blame the Revolution for the severe economic shortages we suffer should hold their tongues out of shame,” he wrote on X.
“Because they know it and acknowledge it: they are the fruit of the draconian measures of extreme strangulation that the U.S. has been applying to us for six decades and now threatens to surpass.”
“Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation. No one dictates what we do. Cuba does not aggress; it is aggressed upon by the United States for 66 years, and it does not threaten; it prepares, ready to defend the Homeland to the last drop of blood,” he continued.
#Cuba es una nación libre, independiente y soberana. Nadie nos dicta qué hacer. Cuba no agrede, es agredida por EE.UU hace 66 años, y no amenaza, se prepara, dispuesta a defender a la Patria hasta la última gota de sangre.#CubaEsCoraje

Speculation about Cuba’s future has risen in recent week’s after the successful capture and extraction of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores.
Since both countries slid into socialist dictatorship, Venezuela and Cuba have become inseparable allies, strongly dependent on one another for oil supplies, intelligence cooperation, and internal security assistance.
This situation has raised questions about whether the Cuban regime can even survive, and whether Trump might intervene.
Should the U.S. military pursue action in Havana, the regime would inevitably be rolled over in a matter of hours.
