Trump threatens to ‘take’ Cuba as island grapples with nationwide blackout
Cuba has not received oil shipments since early January amid US pressure, worsening humanitarian crisis on the island.
Reuters news agency reported that Cuba has received only two small vessels carrying oil imports this year, citing SEG ship-tracking data it reviewed.
Earlier this month, a blackout hit two-thirds of the country, mainly in the centre and west, for over a day after a breakdown at the Antonio Guiteras power plant, the island’s largest.
