BREAKING: In another sudden turn of events, the US is allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, per NYT.

Details include:

1. The tanker is carrying an estimated 730,000 barrels of oil and is owned by the Russian government

2. This is expected to temporarily reduce pressure on a Cuban government facing a "looming economic collapse"

3. The Trump administration has been enforcing what amounted to an "oil blockade" around Cuba since January

4. It is unclear why the White House has now decided to let Russia bring oil to Cuba

On Friday, President Trump said "Cuba is next" after Iran.
