Cuban President condemns US fuel blockade as "immoral, illegal and criminal"

Cuban ​President Miguel ​Diaz-Canel said ‌on Monday ​the U.S. executive order that ‌he said "pursues and threatens" third parties who wish to sell ‌fuel to Cuba was "immoral, illegal ‌and criminal."

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed an oil blockade on ⁠the Caribbean ​island ⁠nation that has severely restricted ⁠supply and led to strict rationing.

Havana ​has received no oil shipments ⁠since the Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin ⁠delivered ​approximately 700,000 barrels - about two weeks' worth ⁠for the island nation of ⁠10 ⁠million people - in late March.
