Mexico has historically supported Cuba by selling it oil, both through commercial contracts and for humanitarian reasons. This policy was affirmed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who described such decisions as 'sovereign'. Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, the Mexican state-owned company Pemex has halted oil shipments to Cuba under US pressure. The conflict is escalating against the backdrop of Mexico becoming the main oil supplier to the island after US intervention in Venezuela. American lawmakers have threatened consequences, including a review of the T-MEC agreement, if Mexico does not stop supporting Cuba.
