MIAMI—The #Trump administration is easing its policy on the sale of #Venezuelan #oil to #Cuba, providing a potential lifeline to the island’s eight million people as a fuel shortage accelerates a #HumanitarianCrisis.
The policy announced Wednesday applies to transactions involving Cuba’s small private sector “that support the Cuban people,” but sales to the ruling #Communist government in Havana would remain illicit under the comprehensive sanctions that Washington has imposed for decades, the #TreasuryDepartment said Wednesday. The Treasury would allow the sales on a case-by-case basis.
