Currently, Cuba relies on imports for nearly 60 percent of its oil supply, according to the International Energy Agency.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;position:relative;min-width:0px;max-width:770px\">\n<div class=\"video-player-facade-container\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But since the start of the year, the Trump administration has largely blocked the export of oil to Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>The de facto oil blockade began shortly after January 3, when the US launched a military operation to abduct and imprison Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n<p>Trump followed that operation with the announcement that no more oil or funds would be transferred from Venezuela to Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the month, he had also issued an executive order identifying Cuba as an \u201cunusual and extraordinary threat\u201d to the US and threatening economic penalties to any country that supplies it with oil.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, only a single Russian tanker has been permitted to reach the island. Earlier this month, Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy announced that the island had exhausted its oil supplies.<\/p>\n<p>While Cuba is no stranger to power outages, the recent crisis has caused island-wide blackouts and has brought public services \u2014 including transportation and medical care \u2014 to a standstill in many areas.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump has continued to impose sanctions on the island\u2019s communist government, in an apparent effort to force regime change.<\/p>\n<p>Media reports have indicated he has sought Diaz-Canel\u2019s resignation and would be open to a situation akin to Venezuela\u2019s, where Maduro\u2019s government has been left largely intact, though Maduro himself has been replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also repeatedly suggested he may consider <a href=\"\/news\/2026\/5\/22\/us-raises-threat-of-military-action-against-cuba\">a military response<\/a> should Cuba fail to give in to his demands, though his administration has sent <a href=\"0\">mixed messages<\/a> about possible intervention on the island.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther presidents have looked at this for 50, 60 years, doing something, and it looks like I\u2019ll be the one that does it,\u201d Trump said last week from the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations between the two countries, however, are likely to be strained after the Trump administration unveiled a murder indictment against Cuba\u2019s former president, Raul Castro, for the 1996 downing of two planes run by Cuban exiles.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 1960s, Cuba has been under a sweeping US trade embargo that has weakened its economy.<\/p>\n<p>US officials, however, have blamed the Cuban government for economic mismanagement and the oppression of its people, particularly political dissidents.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclosed that the Trump administration offered $100m in humanitarian aid to Cuba, on the condition it implement \u201cmeaningful reforms\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In Sunday\u2019s posts, however, Diaz-Canel sought to project defiance in the face of Trump\u2019s \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018maximum pressure\u2019 strategy \u2014 which some in the US morbidly trumpet \u2014 is part of a strategy intended to justify the false narrative of an impending collapse, and thereby pave the way for military intervention,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DiazCanelB\/status\/2058602284729421988\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Diaz-Canel added that Cuba would continue to strengthen its ties with the US\u2019s economic and political rival, China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cherished bonds of friendship and cooperation that unite us grow stronger in these crucial times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to share on social media share-nodes Share facebookxwhatsapp-strokecopylink President Miguel Diaz-Canel holds a Cuban flag during a rally in support of Raul Castro, on May 22 [Adalberto Roque\/AFP] Cuba has announced the first shipment in an expected donation from China of about 60,000 tonnes of rice, as the Caribbean island contends with an [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":434,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
