The Cuban government this week refused a request by the U.S. Embassy in Havana to import diesel fuel for its generators, calling the ask “shameless,” given the Trump administration’s fuel blockade on the island, according to diplomatic cables reviewed by The Washington Post.

The denial could force the embassy to order nonessential staff to leave Cuba in May or “possibly earlier,” the embassy warned Wednesday in a cable to the State Department.


The embassy, a large, diesel-consuming building along Havana’s Malecón waterfront esplanade, has relied on generators for power during frequent blackouts over the past 18 months. The administration’s blockade, intended to pressure the communist government into political concessions, has worsened the crisis.

Cuba has received no oil imports for the past three months, President Miguel Díaz-Canel said last week.
