Trump says Mexico will stop sending oil to energy-starved Cuba

AI Summary

short article 1 min

President Trump stated that Mexico will cease sending oil to Cuba, a move that would further strain the energy-starved nation. Cuba relies heavily on fuel imports from allies like Mexico due to US sanctions and its own economic crisis. Mexico is Cuba's single-largest oil supplier, and the potential halt in shipments could exacerbate existing energy shortages and blackouts. While Mexican authorities have not yet commented, reports indicate the Mexican government is reviewing its oil policy towards Cuba due to concerns about potential US reprisals. Despite this, the Mexican administration stated it would seek to ship other products to Cuba for humanitarian reasons.
