US announces Cuba has accepted $100 million in aid as power crisis persists

The US said Cuba had accepted $100 million in aid, though a long-term solution remains elusive.

A US oil embargo has significantly worsened conditions in Cuba, with regions going days without power.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the chances of a negotiated solution were 'not high,' with Washington sticking to its stated goal of ousting Cuba's communist regime.
