U.S. Policy on Cuban Oil Embargo
Where Things Stand
President Trump directed the U.S. Coast Guard to allow a sanctioned Russian tanker to deliver 730,000 barrels of crude oil to Cuba. This action relaxes the long-standing U.S. fuel blockade to help the island deal with severe power outages and humanitarian needs. It allows a sanctioned vessel to bypass trade restrictions that usually prevent such shipments.
