"In the face of current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its determination to protect its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defense is a fundamental pillar of the Cuban State in safeguarding its sovereignty and ensuring stability in the region."
"The Treasury Department on Wednesday said it would now allow American and some international companies to resell Venezuelan-origin oil and petroleum products in Cuba, opening a potential lifeline between Cuban households and private businesses that have been devastated by the cutoff of fuel imports from Venezuela."
"The unusual guidance was made in solidarity with the Cuban people and was targeted at efforts to improve living conditions and support independent economic activity, the Treasury Department said."
Cuban border guards engaged in a gunfire exchange with occupants of a Florida-registered speedboat off Villa Clara province, resulting in four deaths and six injuries, with one guard wounded. The incident reflects heightened tensions between the United States and Cuba during an ongoing oil embargo that has created severe energy and humanitarian crises on the island. Cuba's Interior Ministry emphasized its commitment to protecting territorial waters and national sovereignty. Simultaneously, the Trump administration moderately eased embargo restrictions by allowing American and international companies to resell Venezuelan-origin oil and petroleum products to Cuba, framed as humanitarian support for Cuban households and private businesses. Tensions escalated following a US operation in January targeting Nicolas Maduro, removing a key Cuban ally, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio advocating for increased pressure on Cuba's Communist government.
