Mexico was using all available “diplomatic channels” to ensure the resumption of crude shipments to struggling Cuba, which Washington has threatened to cut off from life-giving oil, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday.
Cuba, in the grips of an economic crisis, has long relied on oil supplies from Venezuela, whose leader was ousted in a deadly US military operation last month.
US President Donald Trump subsequently claimed control of Venezuelan oil, vowed to starve Cuba of the commodity, and threatened tariffs on any other nation stepping in to help US-sanctioned Havana. (AFP)
