A senior Cuban diplomat has accused the United States of committing 'international piracy' by blocking Venezuelan oil shipments in the Caribbean Sea. Carlos de Céspedes, Cuba’s ambassador to Colombia, told Al Jazeera on Saturday that Washington is preventing fuel from reaching Cuba by detaining Venezuelan tankers. He claimed that after the U.S. military attack and the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the U.S. effectively imposed a maritime blockade against Cuba.
De Céspedes said Cuba has not faced such intense U.S. threats in the 67 years since its revolution, recalling decades of sanctions and military pressure. Following Maduro’s abduction earlier this month, oil flow from Venezuela to Cuba has nearly stopped, despite Venezuela being Cuba’s main supplier for decades. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba are now 'zero' and warned that this situation will continue.
According to Politico, the Trump administration is considering a full energy blockade on Cuba, which could trigger a humanitarian crisis. De Céspedes insisted that U.S. pressure will not subdue Cuba, saying the country will not bow to imperial threats even without a drop of oil.
