    Yeah, I know what a petrodollar is. Played the oil spot market years ago. So, I’m guesstting you must be indicating that Cuba can’t pay for oil. That’s nonsense. Let’s suppose they have their money at HSBC, a Chinese bank in Hong Kong. They make a deal for oil supply with Mexico. To pay for it, they have HSBC move money from Hong Kong to Mexico in USD.

    BTW, I find the downvotes funny as he’ll.
