President Trump has made it abundantly clear that the days of turning a blind eye to the Cuban dictatorship are over.
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – The energy produced and shipped along the Texas Gulf Coast should power America and our allies, not prop up a communist dictatorship just 90 miles from our shores.
Last week, federal officials announced the seizure of 19 shipments carrying approximately 119,000 gallons of biodiesel at the Port of Houston before they could reach ENETEC, a sanctioned, state-owned fuel company in Havana.
After receiving intelligence in early September that fuel was being illegally exported to Cuba, Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection took swift action. The Houston seizures were part of a larger operation that stopped 90 shipments carrying more than 600,000 gallons of fuel, valued at nearly $3 million, through the Port of Houston and Port Everglades in Florida.For decades, Cuba's communist regime has oppressed its own people while aligning itself with America's adversaries. It has no business benefiting from American energy resources, and under President Trump's leadership, we are making sure it doesn't.
President Trump has made it abundantly clear that the days of turning a blind eye to the Cuban dictatorship are over. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reinforced that message, and our federal law enforcement agencies are backing it up with action.
Cuba's communist regime has spent countless years betting on American weakness. Those days are over. President Trump warned them, and now they're finding out he meant it.
