BERLIN, March ‌18 (Reuters) - ​Germany's ​foreign ministry strongly discouraged ‌citizens from going to ⁠Cuba due to ‌an acute energy ‌crisis that particularly limits medical care ​in a travel notification sent ⁠on Wednesday.

Flight and hotel options ​are also limited, said the ministry, and ​further, last-minute ‌restrictions must be expected at ⁠any time.

Cubans faced a 29-hour national ⁠blackout this week as ​U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric ‌against the Communist-run island in ‌addition to ⁠cutting off ‌oil sales.
