US Coast Guard says it has intercepted ship carrying fuel to Cuba

The US Coast Guard has intercepted a large cargo ship carrying fuel to Cuba, as the US continues its oil embargo against the island nation. This move is significant as it highlights the US efforts to enforce its embargo on Cuba, which has been in place for some time. The interception also suggests that the US is actively monitoring and tracking ships that attempt to evade authorities, using tactics known as 'dark fleet' methods.
