Huge power outage in Cuba leaves millions in darkness

Another power outage in Cuba has left millions without electricity.
It's the latest in a string of blackouts in recent months.
Last year, the island of nearly 10 million suffered three nationwide blackouts - two of them lasting several days.

Al Jazeera’s Ed Augustin reports from Havana, Cuba.

Thanks for covering news about my country. I live in Cuba and I just wanna get something clear chat. This is not embargos fault. The only one to blame is the dictatorial communist regime that we've had for more then 60 years. Free Cuba from "Castrismo". The world must know.🇨🇺

The dictators living a great life surrounded by walls in big mansions with plenty food and everything else while an entire country dies.

US sanctions policy is to blame for the power outages in Cuba

Cuban Americans are in the swing state of Florida and Trump keeps his word, so of course they are in a unique position to dictate policy towards Cuba, especially when Cuba is literally nothing to the US compared to other countries where it would be hard for any American to sway policy on. When Trump campaigned on a hardball stance on Cuba to court the Cuban American's vote, he honors his promise when they helped him win Florida.
