Exxon May Sue Cuba for Confiscated Properties from 1960, Supreme Court Rules
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that ExxonMobil can sue Cuban state-owned companies in U.S. courts for properties confiscated after Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1960. The decision, supported by a 6-3 vote, marks the second ruling in favor of U.S. property owners against the Cuban government in recent months. ExxonMobil seeks compensation for over 100 gas stations and a refinery, valued at $71.6 million in 1969, plus interest. This ruling could provide leverage for the Trump administration against Cuba amid ongoing U.S. oil embargo pressures. The Helms-Burton Act allows such lawsuits against entities benefiting from confiscated properties.
