Trump Sees 'No Problem' with Russian Oil Delivery to Cuba

Donald Trump stated he has no issue with a Russian tanker delivering oil to Cuba, despite his previous ban on oil supplies to the communist-governed island, which is facing daily, lengthy power outages. He argued that Cuba is a failed regime with corrupt leaders and that the oil delivery will have no real impact. This statement comes as Cuba struggles with severe electricity disruptions. The Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin, which is under sanctions, is expected to arrive in Cuba tomorrow with 730,000 barrels of oil. Trump appears to believe Cuba is doomed regardless of oil supply, rendering the delivery insignificant.
