We don\u2019t mind having somebody get a boatload, because they need\u2026they have to survive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem whether it\u2019s Russia or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said he was not worried about helping Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has already seen a jump in oil and gas revenue amid the Iran war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt doesn\u2019t help him. He loses one boatload of oil, that\u2019s all it is. If he wants to do that, and if other countries want to do it, that doesn\u2019t bother me much. It\u2019s not going to have an impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCuba\u2019s finished,\u201d he added. \u201cThey have a bad regime. They have very bad and corrupt leadership. And whether or not they get a boat of oil, it\u2019s not going to matter. I prefer letting it in, whether it\u2019s Russia or anybody else, because the people need heat and cooling and all of the other things that you need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Times reported the tanker is owned by the Russian government and carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of oil. It could reach Cuba by Monday night, according to MarineTraffic, a ship-data provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuba is in desperate need of oil and gas. The Trump administration has been allowing some energy sales to private companies, but has effectively cut off the government, which runs the country\u2019s hospitals, schools and utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The island has experienced repeated blackouts in recent weeks and is in a deepening economic crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has been unclear about his endgame as he squeezes the country\u2019s communist leaders, but suggested earlier this month he\u2019d \u201ctake\u201d Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is leading talks with the Castro regime, has said the government needs to change, but not all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuban officials announced steps to open the country to foreign investment earlier this month, but Rubio said that wasn\u2019t sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida Republicans are leading a push for regime change. However, the Trump administration has signalled it may be willing to work with parts of the Castro regime \u2014 as it has with remnants of the Maduro regime in Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump said Sunday night that he\u2019s OK with a Russian oil tanker delivering its payload to Cuba, effectively relaxing a blockade that has plunged the island into an energy crisis.
