Trump administration sanctions Cuba’s national oil company, blasts Castros

The United States has imposed additional sanctions on Cuba, targeting the state-owned oil and gas company Union Cuba-Petroleo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the Castro regime of diverting energy resources for personal gain while Cubans suffer fuel shortages and blackouts. The sanctions are part of President Donald Trump's pressure campaign, which has already cut energy exports from Venezuela and threatened tariffs on countries shipping oil to Cuba.
