Trump Approves Russian Oil Tanker to Cuba Amid Crisis

On March 30, President Trump just gave the green light to a Russian oil tanker heading

to Cuba, saying he has no issue with a delivering relief.

Despite the U.S. oil blockade crippling the island, the ship, named Anatoliy Kalachin,

is loaded with about 7,000-30,000 barrels of oil and was spotted off Cuba's eastern

coast Sunday.

Night expected to dock in Matanz is by Tuesday.

This tanker is hit with sanctions from the U.S., European Union, and United Kingdom

over the Ukraine War.

But Trump told reporters aboard Air Force, one he doesn't mind, country sending aid right

now.

Cubans are hurting bad from the blockade, with island-wide blackouts, no gasoline, crippled

hospitals, and slash public transport amid years of shortages.

Trump shrugged off any boost to Putin, calling it just one boatload that won't save Cuba's

corrupt regime.

He'd rather let it through so folks get, keep, cooling, and basics to survive.
