The United States issued an executive order to impose new tariffs on any country that supplies oil to Cuba, labeling the Cuban government an unusual and extraordinary threat to US national security. The order states the regime aligns with and supports numerous hostile countries, transnational terrorist groups, and malign actors, and allows additional ad valorem duties on imports from countries that directly or indirectly provide oil to Cuba. The actions follow a US military operation in Venezuela and US control over Venezuelan oil, with US leadership promising to halt oil shipments to Cuba. Cuba reports fuel shortages and widespread blackouts and rejects US pressure, noting the long-standing embargo since 1962.
