Russia’s Big Delivery

A Russian oil tanker just rolled into Cuba with 100,000 tons of crude oil. It’s a humanitarian shipment, allegedly. This comes after the Trump administration decided to soften its stance on the U.S. blockade.

What’s the Big Deal?

Well, it’s not every day you see a country openly defying a U.S. blockade. And with Trump’s recent shift in policy, it’s clear that the rules are changing. Cuba’s getting some much-needed oil, and Russia’s getting a nice little foothold in the region. It’s a win-win, unless you’re the U.S., that is.
