Trump Authorizes Oil Sales to Cuba's Private Sector After Crisis

Donald Trump announced that the USA will authorize oil and gas exports to the private sector in Cuba to mitigate a critical energy crisis.This policy shift follows the removal of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and grants American companies priority access to crude assets to be sold at market prices.Although the USA previously provided humanitarian aid via the Catholic Church after Hurricane Melissa, these new licenses require that fuel does not benefit the regime.
