The Cuban regime informed international airlines operating on the island that, as of this Monday, the country will run out of aviation fuel, according to two sources who told EFE news agency.
The warning mainly affects U.S., Spanish, Panamanian and Mexican airlines. So far, no airline has publicly informed how it will deal with this situation, which could lead to changes in routes, frequencies and schedules in the short term.
Pressure from Trump
On January 29, President Donald Trump signed a presidential order threatening to impose tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba, after considering that the island represents a risk to national security.
The decision reinforced a previous measure on January 3, when Washington announced the end of Venezuelan oil to Cuba, following the military operation that concluded with the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
