Mexico Offers to Mediate U.S.–Cuba Tensions as Sheinbaum Defends Oil Shipments

Sheinbaum says any role would require consent from both sides, noting her call with President Trump did not cover Cuba.

Overview

  • Mexico signaled readiness to act as a communication channel between Washington and Havana only if both governments agree.
  • Sheinbaum said her phone call with President Trump earlier in the day did not address Cuba or a possible mediation.
  • She defended Mexico’s fuel shipments to Cuba as legal and longstanding and said they do not threaten domestic supply.
  • Trump posted that no more oil or money would be sent to Cuba and urged a deal, while Díaz-Canel said no dialogue channel exists and any talks must respect sovereignty.
  • CBS reported, citing U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, that Washington will allow Mexico to continue sending oil to Cuba.
