The Cuban government has rejected the request by the U.S. embassy in Cuba to allow the import of diesel fuel for generators this week. The Cuban side accused the U.S. of this request as "shameless," citing that the country is currently suffering from a U.S.-led oil embargo. However, if fuel is lacking, the U.S. embassy may be forced to evacuate its personnel around May. This escalation of tensions comes as the Trump administration increasingly threatens to overthrow the current Cuban regime. Carlos Fernández de Cossío, the deputy foreign minister of Cuba, said at a press conference yesterday that the issue of the country's leadership is "not open for negotiation."
