Cuba has been forced to close two large beach resorts on Cayo Coco due to escalating fuel shortages caused by deepening US sanctions, which have significantly strained the island’s energy supply and economy. This crisis is partly a result of President Trump’s move to curb fuel shipments to the country, triggering widespread impacts across various sectors, including tourism, where the government is implementing a consolidation plan to manage resources effectively. In response to the mounting challenges, Cuban President Díaz-Canel has indicated a willingness to engage in open dialogue with the US, seeking to ease tensions and stabilize the situation as the nation grapples with power blackouts and reduced public services amidst the ongoing energy crunch.
