Trump told reporters on Sunday he had "no problem" with Russia or other countries sending oil to Cuba, saying "they have to survive," though he also said "Cuba's finished" and described its leadership as "bad and corrupt."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia considered it its duty to assist Cuba and would "continue to work" on further shipments. The Trump administration said it would review any additional oil deliveries on a "case-by-case" basis.
