YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cuba has completely run out of diesel and fuel oil to keep its power plants running, according to Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy. #cuba #worldnews #power #energy #blackout

The country's electrical union said it could only cover about a third of national power demand, with large swathes of the country going dark.

President Miguel Díaz-Canel blamed the situation on the US energy blockade, which he said has imposed irrational tariffs on any nation that provides Cuba with energy.
