"I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba. It is illegal, it is against the war... to bomb the infrastructure of any country. This is essentially doing the same thing."
"Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba... one tanker has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs, so it's a very limited amount of time."
"Now Russia has said they're going to send another tanker. I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal has been collaborating with various countries to facilitate oil shipments to Cuba, despite the Trump administration's strict oil embargo. The U.S. has threatened tariffs on nations supplying oil to Cuba, following a halt in oil shipments from Venezuela. Currently, only one Russian tanker has reached Cuba, providing limited oil supply. Jayapal criticized the sanctions as an economic bombing of Cuba's infrastructure, arguing they violate international law and contribute to a humanitarian crisis. The Trump administration has intensified sanctions against Cuba's regime, further complicating the situation.
