WASHINGTON/HAVANA - US President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested Cuba should make a deal with Washington.

"THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

"Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela," Trump said.

The United States launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela in the early hours of Jan 3, taking by force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The strikes have drawn worldwide condemnation and concern.

Following the US military raid on Venezuela, Trump said that "Cuba is going to be something we'll end up talking about" and warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro to be careful.

Meanwhile, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign nation, rejecting US President Donald Trump's accusations that the island country provided "security services" to Venezuela in exchange for oil.

Diaz-Canel said on X that the United States has "no moral authority to point the finger at Cuba in anything", adding that the US side turns everything, even human lives, into a business.

The president said that the United States is "hysterical" against the Caribbean nation because of the sovereign decision of the Cuban people to choose their political model.

"Those who blame the Revolution for the severe economic hardships we suffer should be ashamed and keep quiet," he said. "Because they know and recognize that they are the result of the draconian measures of extreme asphyxiation that the United States has imposed on us for six decades."

Cuba does not attack or threaten other countries, said Diaz-Canel, adding that the country is ready to defend itself "to the last drop of blood".

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also slammed the US for behaving in a "criminal" manner that threatens global peace.

In an X post, Rodriguez said Cuba has the absolute right to import fuel from markets willing to export it and develop trade relations without interference or subordination to unilateral coercive measures imposed by the US.

He said the US behaves like a criminal and unchecked hegemon that threatens peace and security, not only in Cuba and this hemisphere, but throughout the entire world.
