On March 21, Cuban authorities rejected a request from the United States Embassy for an additional shipment of high-quality bunker oil intended specifically for its generators at La Cabaña station and other locations across Santiago de Cubas province; this decision follows repeated demands by US officials who have described their previous requests as "disorderly." The embassy has since been operating with only two diesel tanks, which are insufficient to meet the needs of 130 employees.
Key Points

1Cuban authorities have officially stopped diesel deliveries to the US Embassy in Havana.

2The decision was made after Cuba deemed a previous request for fuel imports as 'disorderly' or lacking credibility, with one source calling it an insult ('skamlo').
