Under a continuing US blockade, Cuba has absolutely no reserves of diesel or fuel oil, said the country’s energy minister “We have no fuel oil, no diesel,” Vicente de La o Levy was quoted as saying by local media.
“We have absolutely no fuel (oil), and absolutely no diesel,” Energy Minister Vincent de la o said on state-run media on Wednesday, adding that the national grid was in a “critical” state.
“We have no reserves.”
The country’s top energy official said Cuba continued negotiations to import fuel despite the blockade, but said rising global oil and transportation prices amid the US-Israeli war with KIran were further complicating that effort.
“Cuba is open to anyone that wants to sell us fuel,” the minister said.
