Cuban President condemns tightening of US oil embargo against Cuba.

Cuban President Diaz-Canel condemned the United States for further tightening its oil blockade against Cuba on the 12th, accusing the American actions of being "totally without bottom line." Diaz-Canel stated in a social media post that after the U.S. banned other countries from providing fuel to Cuba, it then turned its sanctions towards the Cuban national oil company, threatening those who trade with the company. He said that the U.S. is attempting to defend its actions with "absurd excuses," but its true purpose is to suffocate the Cuban people and force them to surrender in the face of hunger, scarcity, and disease.
