Cuban official decries ‘massive punishment’ by US oil blockade
AI Summary
Cuban diplomat Carlos de Cossio accused the United States of imposing a "massive punishment" on Cuba through its oil blockade, which he says harms essential services and the standard of living. De Cossio stated the US is threatening countries that supply fuel to Cuba, impacting transportation, medical services, food production, and energy. Cuba previously relied on oil imports from Venezuela, which were cut off after Nicolas Maduro's abduction. When Cuba turned to Mexico for fuel, the US threatened tariffs, leading Mexico to halt supplies, though humanitarian aid was later sent. The US policy is part of a broader strategy to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere.
