The U.S. Coast Guard is allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, delivering a critical supply of energy to the island nation after months of an effective oil blockade by the Trump administration, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...
A card reads: "U.S. to Allow Oil Tanker to Reach Cuba, Breaking Monthslong Blockade. The critical supply of energy would come after an effective oil blockade by the U.S. that has led to daily blackouts, severe gas shortages, soaring prices and deteriorating medical care in Cuba."
