Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that her country is willing to mediate between Cuba and the United States, but only if the conditions are right. She emphasized that any initiative must come from both nations. Sheinbaum highlighted that Mexico's position is rooted in constitutional principles and a historical commitment to defending national sovereignty. Mexico has acknowledged sending oil to Cuba as humanitarian aid but has recently paused shipments to avoid U.S. tariffs. The president also mentioned that humanitarian aid will be sent to the island this week. On another topic, Sheinbaum presented a plan for a 5.6 trillion peso investment in infrastructure for the 2026-2030 period aimed at boosting economic growth.
