U.S. Allows Russian Oil Tanker to Reach Cuba Amid Energy Crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n The U.S. government has decided to permit a Russian tanker, the Anatoly Kolodkin<\/em>, loaded with crude oil, to reach Cuba, easing the restrictions that have contributed to the island’s ongoing energy crisis.<\/p>\n On Sunday, the tanker was reported to be off the eastern coast of Cuba, carrying approximately 730,000 barrels of oil, as noted by The New York Times<\/em>, based on information from a U.S. official.<\/p>\n President Donald Trump commented on the situation, stating, “We have a tanker out there. We don\u2019t mind having somebody get a boatload, because they need\u2026 they have to survive.” He expressed no issues with oil shipments to Cuba, regardless of the sender, pointing out the urgent needs of the island.<\/p>\n The fuel deliveries arrive as Cuba faces significant fuel shortages, which have led to strict gas rationing. President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel acknowledged that these shortages have persisted for months, worsening the nation’s energy supply problems.<\/p>\n The Anatoly Kolodkin<\/em> left Russia’s Primorsk and could soon arrive at the Matanzas port in Cuba, according to tracking information from MarineTraffic and LSEG. This delivery is significant, particularly after the U.S. took control of Venezuelan oil supplies, which had previously benefited Cuba.<\/p>\n The Trump administration had previously aimed to cut off oil shipments to Cuba to pressure its government. However, in response to disruptions in global energy markets and military actions in the Middle East, some sanctions on Russian oil shipments have been temporarily lifted.<\/p>\n In another development, another vessel, the Sea Horse<\/em>, initially carrying around 200,000 barrels of Russian oil to Cuba, was redirected to Venezuela instead.<\/p>\n The easing of restrictions marks a notable change in U.S. policy as the situation in Cuba continues to evolve.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U.S. Allows Russian Oil Tanker to Reach Cuba Amid Energy Crisis The U.S. government has decided to permit a Russian tanker, the Anatoly Kolodkin, loaded with crude oil, to reach Cuba, easing the restrictions that have contributed to the island’s ongoing energy crisis.
