\u201cWe are fully aware of what is happening in our friendly country. We are prepared to do everything within our power and as much as the situation allows for Cuba,\u201d Lukashenko told his counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Belarusian president promised to strictly adhere to the agreements with Cuba. \u201cIf they have additional proposals, we are prepared to consider them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On January 29, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing tariffs on imports from countries that supply oil to Cuba and declared a national emergency due to the alleged Cuban threat to US national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This measure exacerbated fuel shortages on the island, affecting electricity generation, transportation, food production, healthcare, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
