Mexico sends aid to Cuba as Sheinbaum walks diplomatic tightrope with US

Mexico sent two navy ships carrying over 800 tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba on Thursday, providing food and hygiene products amidst a deepening economic crisis on the island. The aid comes as the US, under a recent executive order, is increasing economic pressure on Cuba, including potential tariffs on countries supplying it with oil. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated her government is seeking diplomatic solutions to resume oil shipments to Cuba, while also pledging continued support. This action highlights Mexico's complex relationship with both Cuba and the US, balancing historical solidarity with Cuba against pressure from Washington. The relationship between Mexico and Cuba dates back to the 19th century.
