Electricity Grid Collapses in Cuba, Causing Nationwide Blackout

In Cuba, the electricity grid collapsed on Sunday, plunging the island into another nationwide blackout. The island has suffered at least three blackouts in July alone due to a U.S.-imposed ​oil blockade, following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro back in January. Venezuela had been Cuba’s primary oil supplier. Imports from Mexico also ​halted amid ⁠increased U.S. pressure. www.democracynow.org
