Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel following the collapse of the Maduro regime in Venezuela.
The United States has issued a stern ultimatum to the island nation, demanding a diplomatic agreement while cutting off the vital oil and financial support previously supplied by Venezuela.
In response, the Cuban leader has asserted his country’s sovereignty, vowing to resist American intervention and defend the territory at all costs.
The loss of Venezuelan resources according to the U.S government has left the Cuban government economically vulnerable.
Additionally, Republican lawmakers have expressed strong support for the administration’s aggressive stance, viewing it as a critical opportunity to end communist rule in the Western Hemisphere.
