Cuba has a big problem. The country has no electricity. Ten million people have no power. This is a big blackout. It is because of no fuel. People are not happy. The power went out on Monday.
Cuba needs oil to make power. But Cuba has no oil. President Diaz-Canel said no oil came for three months. Venezuela sent oil before. Now Venezuela has less oil. The old power plants need oil. They are very old.
Venezuela is Cuba's friend. Venezuela sends oil to Cuba. But Venezuela has problems. They have less oil to send. Some oil came in January. But it was not enough. Cuba is trying to get more oil.
The United States also makes problems. The US wants to stop oil for Cuba. They also tell other countries not to send oil. This makes the fuel problem worse.
Life is hard without power. Many things do not work. People are upset. Some people are protesting. Fixes are happening slowly. The big problems are still here. Cuba will have hard times. This shows Cuba's problems.
