Why Trump’s plans for Cuba cannot be in contrast together with his targets for Venezuela | DW News

The Pentagon released footage of the ship being boarded in the Indian Ocean. The US Defence Dpartment says the vessel had defied President Trump’s so-called ‘quarantine of sanctioned ships in the Caribbean’. The tanker was one of several that fled the Venezuelan coast in early January, after the United States abducted the country’s leader Nicolas Maduro.

Meanwhile, the US is tightening its grip on Cuba’s oil supplies, and the country is beginning to feel the adverse effects. Havana has warned that foreign airlines will no longer be able to refuel because of dwindling supplies. Some airlines have already suspended flights to Cuba. Meanwhile, the UN is warning of a humanitarian crisis.
