Pemex

Pemex is Mexico's state-owned petroleum company. Recent news focuses on Mexico's oil supply relationship with Cuba and the implications of US pressure on this relationship. Reports surfaced that Mexico halted oil shipments to Cuba, leading to President Sheinbaum reaffirming Mexico's 'solidarity' with Cuba and asserting the country's sovereign right to sell or give oil for humanitarian reasons. This situation is newsworthy due to the potential impact on Cuba's economy, which relies on discounted oil from suppliers like Mexico, and the geopolitical tensions arising from US policy towards Cuba. While the articles don't directly mention Pemex by name, the context implies Pemex is the entity responsible for the oil shipments in question. Separately, violence in Salamanca, Mexico, highlights broader security concerns within the country, though not directly linked to Pemex.
