and then money back to Venezuela.

So again, we're going to talk about Cuba in a minute, but Mexico has also been a big supplier of oil to Cuba.

Since the Maduro operation, I think last week, a tanker carrying roughly 90,000 barrels of oil arrived in Havana from Mexico.

Shane Baum says those shipments are humanitarian aid, but Trump's not going to like that answer.

So it's just interesting to see all the ways the Mexican government is pushing back on Trump.

And all the irritants here.

And and it just it feels like the odds of a U.S.

strike on Mexico just keep going up and up.

But I'm wondering how you're interpreting that now.

The other regime change we're trying right now is Trump's pushing really hard to take down the Cuban government.

It's crazy that they're doing all these projects at the same time.

How can you possibly manage all this?

Marco Rubio runs all this stuff.

So Trump seemingly has ruled out military action in Cuba so far, just he wants to do it through economic pressure.

On Sunday, he posted the following message, quote, "'Cuba lived for many years on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela,'

In return, Cuba provided security services for the last two Venezuelan dictators, but not anymore.

Most of those Cubans are dead from last week's USA attack, and Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years.

Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the world by far.

To protect them and protect them, we will.

There will be no more oil or money going to Cuba, zero.
