U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supports the blockade, however, some officials express concerns that a complete halt to oil supplies could provoke a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Even now, the cessation of supplies from Venezuela is negatively affecting the country's economy.
According to information from Politico, the naval blockade is being considered as one of the methods of pressure on the Cuban communist government. Earlier, Donald Trump emphasized that Havana should no longer receive oil and financial assistance from Caracas, urging the Cuban authorities to negotiate with Washington.
