Havana

A Russian oil tanker carrying approximately 700,000 barrels of crude oil has arrived in Cuba, marking the first significant oil delivery to the country in three months. The United States, which previously cut off Venezuelan oil exports to Cuba and threatened sanctions on other suppliers, allowed this shipment for humanitarian reasons, as Cuba faces widespread blackouts and rationing affecting health care, public transit, and agriculture.

Experts note that the delivered oil will take about three weeks to process and will only provide relief for 10 to 15 days. The situation has led to rare public protests and ongoing private negotiations between Cuban officials and U.S. representatives, with regime change cited as a long-term U.S. objective. It remains unclear if further shipments will be permitted or if the delivery is part of a broader agreement.

Un petrolero ruso llega a Cuba con permiso de EE.UU. en medio del bloqueo

Un petrolero ruso que transportaba unos 700.000 barriles de crudo llegó a Cuba este mañana. Se trata de la primera entrega importante de petróleo a la nación insular en tres meses. Estados Unidos cortó las exportaciones de petróleo venezolano a Cuba tras capturar al ex presidente Nicolás Maduro a principios de enero y amenazó con severas sanciones a cualquier otra nación que envíe crudo a Cuba. La amenaza empujó a México, el otro mayor proveedor de petróleo de Cuba, a detener los envíos. Estados Unidos dice que que permitió a un petrolero ruso entregar combustible para necesidades humanitarias. El país de 10 millones de personas se ha enfrentado a una serie de apagones y a un estricto racionamiento del gas, con efectos devastadores para la población. la sanidad, el transporte público y la agricultura. La corresponsal nacional de CBS News Lilia Luciano se une a nosotros ahora. Entonces, Lilia, ¿qué tan mal está Cuba en este momento? Bueno, te diré, Lindsay, que me gustaría que estuviera allí para poder responder a eso con mi propia experiencia. Pero, por supuesto, es muy difícil para los EE.UU. entrar en Cuba. He estado monitoreando, sin embargo, activistas locales, locales... periodistas locales, gente sobre el terreno, y gente que salió de Cuba recientemente. Y el consenso es que esto es la peor crisis humanitaria que Cuba ha visto potencialmente nunca. ¿Puede darnos ejemplos? Estamos hablando de miles de personas, incluidos niños, según Miguel Díaz-Canel, el presidente de Cuba, que no pueden recibir cirugías, que no pueden recibir ayuda médica para salvar sus vidas o ayuda médica para salvar sus vidas, que no pueden recibir ayuda médica para salvar sus vidas o ayuda médica para salvar sus vidas. debido a los cortes de electricidad y a la falta de petróleo. Es importante nota, también, que esto no va a ser una solución rápida. Los 730.000 barriles de petróleo procedentes de este petrolero ruso van a tomar alrededor de tres semanas para procesar en el diesel que se necesario. E incluso entonces, según los expertos, sólo es suficiente para unos 10 días, 10 a 15 días como máximo. No sabemos si este es el primero de muchos que se permitirán en Cuba. Trump administración dirá, como el propio Trump dijo, mira, necesitan sobrevivir en cierto punto. No sabemos por qué. Pero lo que sí sabemos es que la gente está viviendo en las condiciones más extremas y terribles, dadas décadas de circunstancias extremadamente terribles. Ahora ha sido realmente una cuestión de desesperación, que, por un lado, es algo positivo para la administración, para lo que Trump administración quiere hacer, ha provocado protestas más raras al grado que no habíamos visto, en áreas que no habíamos visto, no al grado- Diga más sobre eso. ¿Qué hace la administración quiere? Porque la retórica ha sido cada vez más agresiva. Bueno, también me gustaría que tuviéramos más transparencia y una comprensión más directa de lo que se está hablando o negociando entre bastidores. Ha habido múltiples informes de que hay varios miembros de la Castro que han estado activos en las negociaciones y en conversaciones con cualquiera de Marco Rubio, de nuestro Secretario de Estado directamente. Que es un halcón de Cuba. Exactamente. Y por supuesto, su familia es cubana, y esto es algo que está muy cerca y querido a su corazón. Incluso si esto no es tan rentable, per se, un éxito como podría ser Venezuela, no he hablado con Marco Rubio, pero sospecharía que esto personalmente podría ser un éxito mucho mayor de lo que él espera, si hay un cambio de régimen. El objetivo, lo que hemos oído, lo que sabemos de décadas de funcionarios de EE.UU. presionando por un cambio, el objetivo es el cambio de régimen. Pero también hemos oído hablar de negociar con miembros del régimen, y Miguel Díaz-Canel, el propio presidente de Cuba, reconoció que estas conversaciones privadas están teniendo lugar. Veremos si va a ser una cifra similar a la de Delce la que se mantenga, si todo sigue igual y surgen otros acuerdos, pero estamos realmente tratando de entender por qué este petrolero fue permitido. ¿Fue realmente sólo el humanitario preocupación, o es parte de alguna negociación y tal vez Cuba concedió algo que estamos todavía desconocemos? Manténganos informados. Lilia Luciano, gracias.
