Cuba Accuses U.S. of 'Blatant Lies' Over Fuel Cutoff
In a post on X, Rodriguez charged that US claims flatly contradict Washington's own executive orders and regulatory framework — pointing specifically to a January 29 executive order and a string of subsequent American measures as proof of what he called a "brutal blockade" on Cuba's fuel supplies.
Among the measures Rodriguez singled out were threatened sanctions against third-party nations and foreign companies that dare supply oil to Havana, as well as hostile actions directed at oil tankers servicing the island. He argued that Washington's broader policy is deliberately engineered to hollow out Cuba's economy — choking off development, severing income streams, and cutting the country's access to international markets and technology.
The accusations land against a backdrop of deepening crisis. Cuba has been buckling under a severe economic and energy emergency fueled by decades of US sanctions, with the United Nations warning that acute fuel shortages are now pushing the country toward a full-blown humanitarian catastrophe.
Rodriguez's broadside signals Havana's sharpening frustration with Washington as the island's population bears the compounding weight of blackouts, scarcity, and economic paralysis — with no relief in sight.
