Cuban ambassador to testify today as Ottawa promises aid is on the way
Canada prepares humanitarian aid amid Cuba's worsening energy crisis caused by U.S. oil blockade and halted shipments from major suppliers, officials said.
- On Feb. 24, 2026, the Cuban ambassador to Canada will testify before the House foreign affairs committee in Ottawa after officials from Global Affairs Canada testify.
- Because Cuba produces only 40 per cent of its fuel, halted Venezuelan shipments and Mexico's suspension after U.S. threats have worsened its energy crisis.
- In recent weeks, Cuba's energy shortages have intensified, with severe blackouts peaking in early 2026 and Air Canada cancelling flights due to aviation fuel shortages.
- Dominic LeBlanc, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister, said on Feb. 13 Canada was working on humanitarian aid, while Anita Anand, Foreign Affairs Minister, said Tuesday, 'I will have an announcement in the coming days.'
- A broader geopolitical contest underpins the crisis, with a U.S. oil blockade linked to a humanitarian crisis while officials close to U.S. President Donald Trump advocated economic pressure and Russia and China condemned U.S. measures but provided symbolic support.
