Islandwide blackout hits Cuba as its fuel reserve dwindles and aging grid crumbles

Cuba experienced an islandwide blackout due to dwindling fuel reserves and a crumbling electric grid. The U.S. tariffs on oil sales to Cuba, initiated under President Donald Trump, have exacerbated the country's energy crisis, leading to halted public transportation, canceled surgeries, and widespread rationing. Cuban officials attribute the crisis to an 'energy blockade' and highlight efforts to restore power.
