Esmu tikai viens no milzīgas kustības, kurā ir miljoniem venecuēliešu, kuri ir nolēmuši un apņēmušies būt brīvi. Un man nav ne mazāko šaubu, ka @POTUS, viņa administrācija un ASV tauta atbalsta demokrātiju, taisnīgumu un Venecuēlas tautas mandātu. Man nav nekādu šaubu."

Donald Trump announces on Truth Social that Venezuela will no longer supply oil to Cuba. "Cuba survived for many years thanks to Venezuela's oil and money. In return, Cuba provided 'security services' to the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore. Most of those Cubans are dead following last week's US attack, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years. Venezuela now has the United States, the most powerful military in the world (by far.), to protect them, and we will protect them. NO MORE OIL OR MONEY FOR CUBA. ZERO. I strongly suggest you come to an agreement before it's too late. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT"
