Vladimir Putin is testing Donald Trump by sending oil tankers straight through his embargo on Cuba.

Two vessels carrying Russian oil and gas were initially bound for Cuba, in a direct challenge to the Trump administration’s effort to choke off fuel supplies, according to maritime intelligence data reported by The Financial Times.
