We don’t mind having somebody get a boatload because they need, they have to survive,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night. “I told them if a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem, whether it’s Russia or not.” Trump was unconcerned about the move potentially helping Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has faced crippling oil sanctions over the war in Ukraine that have since been eased due to energy shortages brought about by the Iran war. “It doesn’t help him. He loses one boatload of oil. That’s all it is. It’s fine,” he said. “If he wants to do that and if other countries want to do it, it doesn’t bother me much.”“They have a bad regime They have very bad and corrupt leadership, and whether or not they get a boat of oil, it’s not going to matter,” he added. “I’d prefer letting it in, whether it’s Russia or anybody else, because the people need heat and cooling and all of the other things that you need.”Trump previously imposed it in the wake of the U.S.’s capture of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, cutting off a key source of supply for the island.“Cuba’s a mess. It’s a failing country, and they’re going to be next. Within a short period of time, it’s going to fail and we will be there to help it out,” Trump said. “We’ll be there to help our great Cuban Americans out who were thrown out of Cuba and, in many cases, their family members were mutilated and killed by Castro. Cuba’s going to be next.”
