Sheinbaum says Mexico to send food aid to Cuba

President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico will ship humanitarian aid to Cuba in the coming days while continuing to negotiate with Washington on the possibility of circumventing a US oil siege, Sheinbaum told reporters on Friday that her government was preparing an aid shipment of "mainly food and some other supplies Cuba has requested," to be sent by Monday at the latest.

She added that "diplomatic efforts" were continuing to resume oil shipments.  Mexico's oil and petroleum sales to Cuba totaled $496 million in 2025, less than 1 percent of the production of state-owned oil company Pemex, the firm said on Wednesday.
