Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that Mexico is not currently exporting oil to Cuba. She attributed this decision to pressure from the United States, aiming to prevent any negative repercussions.
Sheinbaum emphasized that the move is intended to avoid complications arising from the geopolitical situation involving Cuba and the U.S.
**Why this matters**
Cuba relies heavily on oil imports to sustain its economy and infrastructure. Mexico’s suspension of oil shipments reflects the influence of U.S. foreign policy in the region and may impact Cuba’s economic stability. This development also highlights the complex diplomatic dynamics between Mexico, Cuba, and the United States.
