WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
