🇺🇸⚔️🇨🇺 CUBA SCORES MAJOR VICTORY AGAINST US OIL BLOCKADE
Cuba can now refine its own oil thanks to a breakthrough of the Hermanos Diaz oil refinery in the city of Santiago de #Cuba using thermoconversion technology developed by the #Oil Research Center and presented to the National Innovation Council by President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
Havana has 20 billion barrels of oil reserves, which is enough to power the whole country for many decades. Despite this, they were unable to refine it.
But now they have developed their own sovereign technology that would allow them to refine their own domestic crude oil reserves and not have to rely on buying it from countries like Venezuela, Mexico, and Russia/Soviet Union. The island has essentially become energy independent.
And the greatest of all, with the introduction of this new method along with the supply of Russian energy, the power that the US has exerted over Cuba with the oil blockade has been significantly diminished.

🇺🇸🇨🇺 The Trump administration is exploring multiple scenarios for a leadership transition in Cuba, but is not yet committed to dismantling the government entirely, Politico reports.
Sources say Washington is discussing options in which some Cuban leadership figures step down, not necessarily through full regime change, but targeted removal of key individuals.
Harder options, including military force, remain on the table, though diplomatic pressure is currently the preferred approach. This signals the administration is resisting pressure from the Cuban diaspora to resolve the "Cuban question" by force.
Trump yesterday threatened to redirect the US naval fleet toward Cuba following Iran.
