Summary

The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted the MV Grace in the Caribbean Sea on suspicion of violating the oil embargo on Cuba as part of the 'dark fleet.' The vessel was escorted to Progreso, Mexico, where the Mexican Navy discovered large quantities of fuel aboard. The Coast Guard had begun investigating the ship in early September. The operation reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Cuba, with the Trump administration accused of imposing an 'energy blockade' on the island.
