Cuban avi­a­tion of­fi­cials have warned air­lines that there isn’t enough fu­el for air­planes to re­fu­el on the is­land, the lat­est step in its moves to ra­tion en­er­gy as the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion cuts the Caribbean na­tion off from its fu­el re­sources.

The gov­ern­ment of Cu­ba pub­lished the no­tices to air­lines and pi­lots on Sun­day night, warn­ing that jet fu­el won’t be avail­able at nine air­ports across the is­land, in­clud­ing José Martí In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port in Ha­vana, start­ing Tues­day and con­tin­u­ing un­til March 11.

Po­lit­i­cal pres­sure from U.S. Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump on Latin Amer­i­ca has ef­fec­tive­ly sev­ered Cu­ba’s ac­cess to its pri­ma­ry pe­tro­le­um sources in Venezuela and Mex­i­co.
