Cuba's Energy Minister Says Country Has No Fuel as US Renews Aid Offer
Share:
Cuba's energy minister announced the country has absolutely no fuel available, highlighting the severity of the island nation's ongoing energy crisis. The United States renewed its offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid to Havana on Wednesday, continuing diplomatic pressure for Cuba to cooperate with Washington during the economic crisis. The fuel shortage represents a critical challenge for Cuba's power grid and transportation systems, as the communist-led Caribbean nation struggles with widespread blackouts and economic hardship that have sparked rare public protests in recent years.
