Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. President Trump says Venezuela will no longer send support to Cuba. No oil, no money. Trump posted his position on his social media platform this morning and sent a warning to Cuba's leaders. The threat to Cuba comes more than one week after U.S. forces seized Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro. NPR's Carrie Khan reports.
Trump says for many years Cuba has lived off Venezuela's aid and in exchange Cuba has provided, quote, security services for two Venezuelan dictators. Writing on social media, Trump posts, but not anymore and added, quote, I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late. Cuba is suffering its greatest economic crisis in decades, with the island experiencing blackouts, food shortages, and long gas lines. It relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, and without it, experts warn the economy could collapse, leading to widespread suffering and social unrest. The U.S. has stepped up its blockade of oil tankers coming to and from Venezuela, boarding another ship on Friday. It's the third since the U.S. removed Maduro from power.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard says terrorists are behind the upheaval in that nation as thousands of protesters poured onto the streets of Tehran and elsewhere. Overnight in Tehran, shouts of death to America rang out in the parliament. This weekend, Iran's attorney general warned anyone taking part in protests will be considered an enemy of God, a death penalty charge, and the government says it will do everything possible to stay in power. President Trump is saying the U.S. is ready to help as Iranians pursue freedom. There have been casualties, and one human rights group says there have been more than 100. But as NPR's Michelle Kellerman tells us, exact information has been difficult to get from Iran.
The New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran says it's been receiving credible firsthand reports of hospitals packed with injured protesters in Tehran and other cities. Videos have been circulating online of security forces using live fire against the protesters. Rallies began two weeks ago, first in response to the collapsing economy. Israeli sources say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the protests with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who posted on X that the U.S. supports the brave people of Iran. Iran is warning that any attack would trigger a response against Israel and against U.S. military bases across the region. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
US Central Command says that US forces have hit ISIS targets in Syria. The strike is in response to an ambush last month in Syria that killed two American soldiers and one US civilian. This is NPR News in Washington. In the Russia-Ukraine war this weekend, Russia says a Ukrainian drone strike in the Russian city of Voronezh damaged apartment buildings, houses, and a school. One person died. A Russian bombardment of Ukraine killed at least four people in Kiev. The Hollywood Awards season continues tonight with the Golden Globes. It will run on CBS and Paramount+. NPR's Mondelez del Barco reports.
Comedian Nikki Glaser will once again host the Beverly Hills ceremony. She told CBS Morning she's ready to poke fun at Hollywood. You have to be very delicate about making jokes that aren't going to ruin anyone's night. People at home want you to make fun of the A-listers. That includes Golden Globes nominees George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays a washed-up revolutionary in one battle after another. Viva la revolución! Paul Thomas Anderson's dark comedy action thriller leads the film nominations. Among TV shows, the latest season of The White Lotus has the most drama nominations, six in all. And in a new category for podcasts, Amy Poehler and others are competing with NPR's own Up First.
