The US president suggested that, following the war in Iran, he might take action against Cuba, in addition to the economic, commercial, and (recently) oil embargo currently imposed on the island. For his part, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel is committed to dialogue, though he asserts that Cuba will defend itself if necessary.

In a controversial statement, Trump has declared that the sanctioned oil belongs to the United States. Caracas rejects the statement and considers it an “imperialist naval blockade.”
