Island-wide blackout hits Cuba as its fuel reserve dwindles and aging grid crumbles
Cuba experienced an island-wide blackout due to dwindling fuel reserves and a deteriorating electric grid. Fuel shortages, exacerbated by U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs on oil suppliers, have led to halted public transportation and canceled surgeries, with the country producing only 40% of its fuel needs.
