The United States plans to conditionally relax the oil blockade against Cuba.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a guidance on the 25th, indicating that the agency will implement a licensing policy allowing the resale of oil from Venezuela to non-government sectors in Cuba. The Office of Foreign Assets Control, responsible for enforcing U.S. economic sanctions, stated that approved transactions must be used to "support the Cuban people, including the private sector," such as exports for Cuban commercial and humanitarian purposes. This licensing policy does not cover transactions involving individuals or entities affiliated with the Cuban military or government.
