"On March 16, Cuba’s national electricity grid collapsed for the third time in
four months, plunging 10 million people into more than 29 hours of darkness.
Hospitals struggled to keep generators running, water pumps shut down and
refuse piled up on streets where collection trucks have sat empty for weeks.
The immediate cause is a fuel shortage building since January, when the United
States cut off Cuba’s oil supply following the kidnapping of President Nicolás
Maduro in Venezuela.
Mexico, which had become Cuba’s largest oil supplier, accounting for an
estimated 44% of the island’s crude imports in 2025, halted deliveries under
threat of US tariffs.
This is economic warfare – and it’s not new. But recent US government rhetoric
has intensified the long-running tensions, leaving Cuba’s future up in the
air."
