US Coast Guard intercepts fuel ship bound for Cuba under embargo

The US Coast Guard boarded the cargo ship Grace on 5 September in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Mexico, seizing fuel destined for Cuba as part of the ongoing US oil embargo. The vessel was suspected of using 'dark fleet' tactics to evade detection, and was taken to Mexico. This marks a continued enforcement of the embargo under the Trump administration, signaling heightened maritime interdiction in the region.
