The minister emphasized: “We categorically condemn the latest escalation of aggression from the United States... They are proposing to impose a complete blockade on fuel supplies (to Cuba).” In his message on the social network X, he also characterized Washington's attempts to force other countries to join the blockade as blackmail. In his opinion, the American side is using disinformation to present Cuba as a threat. US President Donald Trump issued an order allowing the imposition of import duties on goods from countries supplying oil to Cuba.
According to sources from Politico, US authorities are considering the possibility of implementing a complete blockade of oil imports, which could be aimed at changing the political regime in Cuba. According to WSJ, the US is actively seeking influential figures in the Cuban government who could assist in changing the power in the country by the end of this year.
