Cuba Experiences Second Nationwide Blackout in a Week Due to Fuel Shortages

10 Temmuz 2026Al Jazeera

Cuba has experienced its second island-wide blackout in just a week, attributed to a de facto oil blockade imposed by US President Donald Trump. This blockade has significantly strained the country's power grid, leading to widespread outages.
The situation highlights the ongoing challenges Cuba faces in maintaining its energy infrastructure amidst external pressures.
Cuba's energy crisis is not new, but the recent sanctions have intensified the situation. The country's reliance on oil imports, particularly from Venezuela, has made it susceptible to external political dynamics.
The recent blackouts in Cuba underscore the vulnerabilities of the island's energy system, which is heavily reliant on imported oil. The Trump administration's blockade not only exacerbates these vulnerabilities but also raises questions about the humanitarian implications for the Cuban population.
