U.S. Embassy in Cuba Denied Import of Diesel Fuel, Fuel Blockade Triggers Diplomatic Crisis

The United States has imposed a comprehensive embargo on Cuba, and the U.S. Embassy in Havana has requested fuel from the Cuban government!

Under the context of the fuel shortage in Cuba caused by the United States' own energy blockade, the United States has requested the import of diesel generators for the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The Cuban government rejected this request and condemned the U.S. government's action as "shameless."

The Washington Post commented on the U.S. government's behavior: "This week, the Cuban government rejected the U.S. Embassy in Havana's request to import diesel generators, calling this request 'shameless,' considering the fuel blockade implemented by the Trump administration against Cuba."

The Cuban government's rejection of the U.S. government's request may lead to some U.S. embassy staff having to leave Cuba by May or even earlier.
