Trump: NO MORE OIL OR MONEY FOR CUBA - ZERO!
"Cuba has lived off large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela for many years. In return, Cuba provided 'security services' to the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NO MORE OF THIS! Most of these Cubans were killed during the U.S. attack last week, and Venezuela no longer needs protection from bandits and extortionists who held it hostage for so many years. Now Venezuela has the United States of America, the world's most powerful army (today!), which will defend it, and we will defend it. NO MORE OIL OR MONEY FOR CUBA - ZERO! I strongly recommend they make a deal, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Trump also wrote that it would be a great idea to appoint U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio as President of Cuba.
