Cuba Poised for Biggest U.S. Fuel Shipment Since Cold War Embargo

Vanguard Energy, a Florida trading company, is in advanced talks to send Cuba 250,000 barrels of diesel and gasoline—the largest U.S. fuel cargo to the island since the Eisenhower administration. The shipment comprises 100,000 barrels of gasoline and 150,000 of diesel, designated exclusively for Cuba's private sector. The company has secured Cuban government approval and leased storage tanks on the island, though the State Department confirmed Vanguard has not yet received a license and U.S. sanctions remain in place.
