Mexico has temporarily halted oil supplies to Cuba due to the threat of US trade tariffs but will continue to provide humanitarian aid to the island, President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a daily press conference.
"Shipments [of oil] are currently suspended, as we are seeking to avoid negative consequences for Mexico," the head of state said. She recalled that Washington had issued a decree imposing tariffs on countries supplying fuel to the island. According to her, Mexico City is engaged in diplomatic efforts to find a way to support Havana without falling under US restrictions.
Sheinbaum also called on the United States to lift them. "We are telling both the international community and the US that these sanctions are very unfair to the Cuban people," the president stressed. "They don’t have fuel for hospitals or schools, so people are suffering there," she added.
The president emphasized that Mexico would not abandon its humanitarian support for Cuba. "We will help the Cuban people, as we have always helped peoples in need," Sheinbaum said.
