  <abstract displayLabel="Summary">On March 30, 2026, reports indicated that the US would allow a Russian oil tanker carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil to dock in Cuba, delivering much-needed fuel to an island that had faced an effective US oil blockade since January 29, 2026. The arrival underscored the severity of Cuba’s energy crisis, produced by a deliberate escalation of US economic coercion, using both sanctions and tariffs. As tools of economic warfare, tariffs operate as forms of state crime that produce systemic harm and human suffering in Cuba and across the region. </abstract>
