So much for that Blockade it seems. Sure this isn’t the end, but if in the end supplies are getting through it leaves into question the validity of the US Embargo

They’re not bringing oil in.

Weren’t there a Russian tanker heading for Cuba?

The Anatoly Kolodkin, a Russian-flagged tanker that is itself under U.S. sanctions, departed from the Baltic Sea on March 9. It continues to be tracked and is expected to reach the Cuban port of Matanzas around April 4 . If it successfully delivers its cargo it would be the first oil shipment to reach Cuba since early January.

Guess we'll see what happens.

True but I doubt this administration is doing a anything not oil can pass." Exception

Oil is the specific target of this year’s sanctions and the blockade on Cuba. It’s mentioned in the article a couple times and in orange pedo douchebag’s orders.

Yes that is the specific target, but as you said this is the pedo orange, I highly doubt he is OK in non-oil stuff getting sent either
