Rep. Jayapal on Iran, ICE Funding and Progressive Dems vs. Establishment Dems
Jayapal said only one Russian tanker has reached Cuba since January, leaving the island with 10 to 14 days of fuel.
- On Friday, May 1, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order imposing new sanctions on Cuba, targeting foreign banks and firms doing business with the island while reinforcing a ban on U.S. tourism.
- The White House enforced a de facto oil embargo following a January order threatening tariffs on fuel suppliers, while President Trump suggested in March he could "take" the island.
- Jayapal, who visited Cuba last month, called the sanctions an "economic bombing" of Cuban infrastructure, noting that oil shipments from Venezuela halted after U.S. operations regarding Maduro.
- Seeking to secure fuel, Jayapal is coordinating with ambassadors from Mexico and other Latin American countries, as only one Russian tanker has reached Cuba since January, providing 10 to 14 days of fuel.
- Now Russia has indicated plans to send another tanker, though the administration's mandate mirrors sanctions used against Iran and Russia; Jayapal argues these measures violate international law by destroying infrastructure.
