Technically the US did blockade Cuba from receiving oil, specifically from Venezuela. Blocking tankers, boarding them, and even confiscating them.

The embargo continues, as it has for decades, but the oil blockade is a real thing.

You make that sound like the US has been stopping Venezuelan tankers for decades.

It hasn't, that's a Trump special. Cuba's energy insecurity goes back a lot longer.
