Cuban authorities have warned foreign airlines that the country has run out of fuel, and that planes cannot refuel if they land in the island nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fuel shortage was announced Sunday in a notice to airlines flying to Cuba, sources told the AP, and will primarily affect long-haul flights from Russia and Canada. Air Canada also became the first major carrier to announce it was halting flights to the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shortage is blamed on US sanctions, which have caused an energy crisis in the authoritarian country. Over the weekend, crisis measures such as a four-day workweek for staff at state-owned companies were introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
US President Donald Trump has threatened punitive tariffs on countries that supply Cuba with oil and specifically called on Mexico to cease its oil exports to Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
