Mexico to Send Humanitarian Aid to Cuba as Sheinbaum Denies Trump's Oil Claim

Mexican officials say the oil question is being handled through diplomatic talks with Washington.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said a Navy-coordinated shipment of food and basic supplies will depart for Cuba this week.
  • Sheinbaum insisted she never discussed oil shipments with President Donald Trump, countering his claim that Mexico agreed to stop sending fuel.
  • The United States issued an executive order enabling tariffs on countries that sell or provide petroleum to Cuba.
  • Mexico’s Foreign Ministry says the petroleum issue is under discussion between Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
  • Senators from Morena, PT and PVEM backed the humanitarian delivery and framed Mexico’s stance as a matter of sovereignty and international law.
