"The Anatoly Kolodkin, reportedly carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil, was just off the eastern tip of Cuba and sailing at 12 knots on Sunday."
"Trump indicated some wiggle room in allowing oil into Cuba, stating, 'If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba, right now, I have no problem whether it's Russia or not.'"
"Cuba is in the grips of an economic crisis which has worsened since January 3 when Trump imposed a de facto fuel blockade on the island nation."

A Russian tanker, the Anatoly Kolodkin, is en route to Cuba carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil. U.S. President Trump expressed no issue with the shipment, reversing his previous stance. The shipment marks the first oil delivery to Cuba since January 9, amid an economic crisis exacerbated by a U.S. fuel blockade. The tanker left Russia on March 8, and the British Royal Navy is monitoring its journey. Cuba faces severe energy shortages, leading to widespread blackouts.
