Two Mexican Navy ships carrying humanitarian aid docked in Cuba on Thursday, January 29, 2026, as the island faces a deepening energy crisis. The aid comes after the U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, prompting energy rationing. Mexico is providing over 536 tons of food and hygiene products, along with 277 tons of powdered milk. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that Mexico is attempting to foster dialogue between the U.S. and Cuba to resolve the situation. Cuba's energy crisis was worsened by the halt of oil shipments from Venezuela after U.S. intervention in that country. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has called Trump’s actions an "energy blockade," impacting various sectors and leading to flight suspensions and economic strain.
