U.S. will let Russian oil tanker reach Cuba, breaking Trump’s effective fuel blockade

With a Russian tanker loaded with crude oil nearing Cuba, President Donald Trump said late Sunday he would not enforce his effective blockade against fuel supplies to the island.

“If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem, whether it’s Russia … and if other countries want to do it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a weekend at his Mar-a-Lago home.
