Oil Tanker Seized, Revealing Cuba-Venezuela Trade
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Newly uncovered documents reveal that the oil tanker Skipper, seized by US forces near Venezuela, was bound for Cubas Matanzas port. This shipment was part of Venezuelas longstanding support for Cuba, providing discounted oil for years. The partnership has been vital to Cubas economy, with Venezuela supplying oil and Cuba sending professionals to work in Venezuela. However, recent reports suggest that a significant portion of the oil meant for Cuba has been sold to China, with profits used to provide essential goods for Cuban officials. Cuban officials and US Democratic lawmakers have criticized these seizures, labeling them acts of piracy and maritime terrorism.
