Michael Ortega Casanova is one of four people who were killed after people aboard a U.S.-registered speedboat allegedly opened fire on Cuba's border patrol.

The Cuban government’s account of a supposed armed raid into its territory was called into question after one of the men identified as being on the boat turned up in Miami.

Cuba’s deputy foreign minister says the island’s government is communicating with American officials following the fatal shooting of a U.S. boat in Cuban waters.

Cuba has accused 10 people aboard a US-registered speedboat it intercepted off its coast on Wednesday of planning "an infiltration with terrorist aims". Border guards shot dead four people and injured the other six on the boat, the Cuban interior ministry said, alleging that those on the Florida-registered vessel had fired first.

The energy shortage was an overwhelming problem even before Mr Trump’s attention turned to Cuba. His threat to impose tariffs on any country which supplies Cuba with oil has become an effective embargo.

The United States said it will allow certain operations to resell Venezuelan-origin oil destined for Cuba for citizens and companies on the island.

A tanker believed to be carrying Russian oil to fuel-starved Cuba diverted away, a move that’s likely to worsen shortages on the Caribbean island.

Cuba is set to play against Puerto Rico, Colombia, Panama and Canada in San Juan, Puerto Rico, during pool play of the WBC, which is scheduled from March 5 until March 17.
