'Why doesn't Trump use his oil?,' Cubans ask as US cuts off Venezuelan oil

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/juw7rqk Cubans are bracing for impact after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to cut off a lifeline of Venezuelan oil from reaching Cuba, setting up a siege scenario for an island already reeling from crippling blackouts and shortages. Venezuela, once the island's top supplier, has not sent crude or fuel to Cuba for about a month, according to shipping data and internal documents from state company PDVSA, with cargoes falling off due to a U.S. blockade even before the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in early January. Deyanira Gonzalez, a 57-year-old housewife who lives in Havana's countryside, already prepares her morning coffee and her children's lunch over charcoal, she says, with electricity spotty and liquefied gas largely unavailable or too expensive. Cuban resident Rigoberto Rodrigues says no one has the right to block Cuba. "He wants to take these measures, to block and take ownership, not ownership, of Venezuela's oil and, if possible, of the entire world's oil, but he has no right to do so. He has his own oil, why doesn't he use his own wells?" he said.
