U.S. Blocks Deal by Florida-based Vanguard Energy to Supply Fuel to Cuba

The US has blocked a deal by Florida-based Vanguard Energy to supply 250,000 barrels of fuel to Cuba, citing a lack of authorization. The blocked shipment could have eased an energy crisis in Cuba. Vanguard Energy's plans were halted by the Trump administration, which deemed the company unauthorized to proceed with the deal. The move is expected to exacerbate Cuba's existing energy shortages.
