Cuba's Foreign Minister refutes U.S. Secretary of State's claim that "Cuba has not been subjected to an oil blockade"

Odaily Planet Daily News: On the 5th, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodriguez said that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio’s remarks that “Cuba has not suffered an oil blockade” are “a lie.” According to a message released on the official website of the U.S. State Department, that afternoon, Rubio said during a press conference held at the White House that Cuba has not suffered an oil blockade. Rodriguez said on social media that the reality cannot be concealed: On January 29, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order threatening to impose an ad valorem tariff on goods imported into the United States from countries that supply oil to Cuba. In recent times, only one ship carrying fuel has arrived in Cuba. All Cuban suppliers have been intimidated and threatened, which violates the rules of free trade and the principle of freedom of navigation. The new executive order issued on May 1 expanded the scope of sanctions against Cuba. (East News Agency)
