Large parts of Cuba were without power on Tuesday after its third blackout in four months underscored the island's deepening energy and economic crises and rising political tensions with President Trump.
Electricity was slowly being restored to hospitals and some of the island’s 11 million residents, but officials warned that its crumbling power network could fail again.
Cuba’s aging grid has drastically eroded in recent years, leading to daily outages and an increase in significant blackouts.
The government blames its woes on a U.S. energy blockade after Trump in January warned of tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba.
