also physically preventing ships from delivering fuel to the Island. It's all even more cynical and hypocritical when compared to the strait of Hormuz debacle, how can the US pretend that Iran must allow oil tankers unobstructed passage (international laws, ships at sea bla bla bla) when the US is deliberately preventing oil ships to travel to Cuba.

And blockading Venezuelan oil from reaching the island. Don't forget that part.

Is the new Venezuelan leader still trying to send Cuba oil? Or has she stopped that?

[dpark]

Shockingly they stopped sending oil after the US deposed their leadership and told them they better stop now “or else”.
