Emerging from latest blackout, Cuba says ready for any potential US attack
Mexico will continue accepting Cuban medical workers despite US pressure
AI Summary
Cuba is recovering from its latest nationwide blackout, the second in a week and third in March, which affected millions, including hospitals in Havana. The blackouts are attributed to failures in the country's aging power grid, exacerbated by a shutdown at the Nuevitas thermoelectric plant. This comes amidst a US oil blockade, initiated after the US cut off oil supplies to Cuba after abducting Venezuela’s President Maduro, which Cuba says is pushing its economy to the brink. In response to recent threats from US President Trump to take over the island, Cuba's Deputy Foreign Minister stated the nation is prepared for any potential US military aggression, though they don't believe it is probable. The US has warned potential oil exporters to Cuba that they could face high tariffs.
