Cuba’s national electric grid has collapsed, the country’s grid operator has said, leaving approximately 10 million people without power amid a US-imposed oil blockade that has crippled the island’s already obsolete generation system.

Cuba has received only two small vessels carrying oil imports this year, according to LSEG ship-tracking data seen by Reuters on Monday.

Venezuela, once Cuba’s main oil supplier, has sent no fuel to the island this year.

No large imports have entered this year through Cuba’s main hubs of Matanzas or Moa, which typically handle crude for refining and fuel oil for power generation, according to satellite images analysed by TankerTrackers.com. The ports of Havana and Cienfuegos have not had import activity in more than a month, it added.

Marco Rubio: Cuban heritage, American dream"

As a child, Marco Rubio assured his exiled Cuban grandfather he would overthrow Fidel Castro and lead Cuba.

At 43, he harbours a new aspiration: to be president of the United States.

The Republican senator from Florida told donors on Monday he was all in, ending two years of speculation about whether he would pursue a 2016 campaign for the White House.

Back in February, 12 months ahead of presidential primaries, he was already an all-but-declared candidate, publishing a big ideas book and launching a tour of the states that vote earliest in the nomination process.

Mr Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, the son of poor Cuban refugees who fled the island 15 years earlier to escape poverty.

After Castro seized power in 1959, the family decided never to return to Cuba, a country Marco Rubio has never known.
