This is what Grok says: 🙁

What actually happened​


Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) led or joined a congressional delegation to Cuba in early April 2026. Afterward, she and Rep. Jonathan Jackson publicly criticized the Trump administration's tightened energy/fuel restrictions ("oil blockade") on Cuba. They described it as causing blackouts, humanitarian suffering, "cruel collective punishment," and even "economic bombing" of infrastructure.


In interviews and videos, she:


  • Called for ending the fuel restrictions and broader engagement/diplomacy.
  • Noted a Russian tanker that had delivered oil (and possibly more coming).
  • Mentioned discussions or coordination involving ambassadors from Mexico/other Latin American countries about oil flows.
  • Argued the policy was counterproductive and illegal in her view.

This was public advocacy after an official congressional trip, not secret "conspiracy" to smuggle tankers.
