True or False: Trump specified exactly what "deal" he wanted Cuba to accept in his January 11, 2026 ultimatum.

Question

Accepted Answer

False. Trump declared "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO!" and demanded Cuba "make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE" but never specified what deal he wanted. Trump provided no terms, no timeline, no specific demands—just the threat. This ambiguity gave Trump maximum flexibility but also left Cuba with no clear path to compliance even if they wanted to negotiate. Did he want regime change? End of Venezuela alliance? Economic capitulation? Payment for seized property from the 1960s? Nobody knows. This demonstrates how Trump uses economic leverage to force concessions without committing to specific terms in advance.
