Claim 1: “Washington continues to crush the Cuban economy by cutting off its fuel and hammering it with sanctions”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm the existence of U.S. sanctions against Cuba, including the long-standing embargo (Wikipedia) and specific sanctions against President Miguel Diaz-Canel (Al Jazeera). The mention of an energy crisis and fuel reliance on other nations (BBC/web search) supports the claim regarding fuel restrictions.

Claim 3: “the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s confirmation on Wednesday that the New World screwworm fly has reached south Texas for the first time in decades”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly mirrored in a cross-reference from Flipboard, but no other independent news source or official USDA announcement in the provided evidence confirms the specific 'Wednesday' confirmation of the fly reaching South Texas. The other results are generic Wikipedia entries or irrelevant search results.
