19 Mar, 21:32 — 20 Mar, 01:29

Why this matters

Cuba relies heavily on imported oil, and US sanctions have historically aimed to destabilize the communist regime by limiting its access to resources. This latest action by the US Treasury could significantly exacerbate Cuba's energy crisis, potentially leading to widespread shortages and social unrest.
