Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Cuba, urging its leaders to “make a deal before it is too late,” in remarks that have intensified geopolitical tensions in the region.
The comments come about a week after reports emerged of a dramatic U.S. operation in Caracas, in which American forces allegedly seized Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, during a nighttime action. The development has sparked widespread international reactions and renewed debate over U.S. involvement in Latin America.
Trump’s warning to Havana is seen as part of a broader pressure campaign targeting governments allied with Venezuela. He suggested that longstanding arrangements, including political and economic support tied to Caracas, could be disrupted unless Cuba changes course.
Cuban officials have pushed back against the remarks, reaffirming the country’s sovereignty and rejecting external pressure. Meanwhile, analysts say the situation could reshape diplomatic and economic alignments across the region, with implications for energy supplies, security cooperation, and regional stability.
As reactions continue to unfold globally, the episode underscores growing uncertainty in U.S.–Latin America relations.
