Cuban Foreign Minister rejects US Secretary of State's statement that “Cuba is not subject to an oil blockade”

Comparative news. According to the Eastern News Agency, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodriguez said on the 5th that US Secretary of State Rubio's statement that “Cuba has not been subject to an oil blockade” is a “lie.” According to information published on the US State Department's official website, in the afternoon of the same day, while presiding over a press conference at the White House, Rubio claimed that Cuba was not subject to an oil blockade. Rodriguez said on social media that the reality cannot be hidden: On January 29, US President Trump signed an executive order threatening to impose ad valorem tariffs on goods exported to the US from countries supplying oil to Cuba. For some time, only one ship carrying fuel arrived in Cuba. All Cuban suppliers have been intimidated and threatened, in violation of the rules of free trade and the principle of freedom of navigation. A new executive order was issued on May 1 to expand the scope of sanctions against Cuba.
