Cuba generates most of its energy from oil, but in January, the Trump administration ordered Venezuela to stop supplying the island with fuel. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said this month that Cuba has had no oil imports in three months. Mo Chara later added that they had brought in 300kg of humanitarian aid with the organisation Nuestra América.
