President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that the United States will allow a Russian-flagged oil tanker to reach Cuba as the island faces a deepening energy crisis, a move that would break his administration's fuel blockade. Speaking aboard Air Force One Sunday, Trump confirmed a tanker was heading towards the Caribbean country. "We have a tanker out there. We don't mind having somebody get a boatload, because they have to survive," he told reporters, when being asked about the vessel.
"If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem. I prefer letting it in, whether it's Russia or anybody else, because the people need heat and cooling and all of the other things that you need," the president added.
