The Caribbean government's request that the US Embassy in Havana permit the transfer of the diesel fuel for its energy generators was rejected.

The residents of the Caribbean island have been dealing with the worst energy crisis in decades as a result of Washington's strengthening of the economic sanctions established in August.

The United States took control of the Bolivarian Republic's oil reserves on January 3 after President Donald Trump's order for a military operation to assault Nicolas Maduro, the former Venezuelan senator, in a military operation.

One of the first reactions to this behavior was to stop receiving crude oil from Cuba and require Mexico to cooperate with the same partners in exchange for continuing to be one of its principal trading partners in the area, without imposing tariffs.

Given this circumstance, the Caribbean nation's gasoline and diesel started to run out in the nation, and it was also able to import fuel from Russia.

In order to maintain conducting its political activities in Cuba, the United States Embassy requested permission to import diesel with the support of generator-generated electricity, which became more numerous. As a result, this is why power outages are more numerous in that country. with that kind of gasoline.

According to the Washington Post, the consulate informed the State Department that the island's absence of electricity and fuel was making it possible to send non-essential personnel up to the US no later than May, or even sooner, if the island was not permitted to trade the necessary fuel, citing political cables.

According to the Associated Press ( AP ), two US officials, who were contacted anonymous, informed him that the request was rejected by the country's president, Miguel Diaz-Canel.

Cuba's rejection apparently resulted from Donald Trump's just controversial statement, in which he claimed he could do whatever he wanted with the Caribbean region.

" I believe I have the freedom to use them however I see fit. " They are now a pretty weakened state, regardless of whether I liberate them or get them. I may be given Cuba as a gift. That would be beneficial. The New Yorker stated at a conference in Washington with members of the press that it was a wonderful honor.
