Vice President Mike Pence issued a stern warning to Cuba on Tuesday, accusing the Caribbean nation of providing support to the government of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.

The White House will take “strong action not only to isolate Venezuela but also we’re looking at strong action against Cuba,” Pence said Tuesday, according to Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs. Cuba “continues to provide personnel and support to the dictatorship in Venezuela,” the vice president alleged. He added that President Donald Trump is considering “a broad range of options.”

Prior to his remarks on Cuba, Pence called for the release of six executives of Citgo Petroleum Corporation, who have been detained in Venezuela for more than a year. “They’re being held illegally,” he said, Bloomberg reported. “[Maduro’s] regime should release all political prisoners.”
