Trump ally cheers starvation threat as leverage after US strike on Venezuela
After President Donald Trump warned Cuba to “make a deal” or face dire consequences, one of his former national security aides went on Fox Business to openly boast that the U.S. could starve the island into submission within days by cutting off Venezuelan oil and money. The remarks followed the administration’s unprecedented attack on Venezuela and capture of Nicolás Maduro, with Trump allies now openly signaling that Cuba could be next. Critics say the comments underscore how Trump’s foreign policy is sliding into raw coercion, with U.S. officials casually discussing civilian suffering as a negotiating tool while television hosts cheer an expanding list of nations in Washington’s crosshairs.
