Mexico’s president says Trump’s tariffs on Cuba’s oil suppliers could trigger humanitarian crisis
AI Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned that potential US tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, initiated by a recent executive order from President Trump, could trigger a humanitarian crisis on the island. The US cites Cuba's ties to Russia, Hamas, and Hezbollah as justification for the tariffs. Mexico has become Cuba's top oil supplier since 2025, surpassing Russia and Venezuela. Sheinbaum stated her government would seek information from the US State Department and explore alternative ways to provide humanitarian aid to Cuba without jeopardizing Mexico. Cuba is currently facing severe fuel shortages and blackouts, and officials estimate that the country only has enough oil to last 15 to 20 days.
