Sheinbaum Condemns US Sanctions Against Cuba and Promises Continued Aid

The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, stated this Monday that Mexico will continue to send humanitarian aid to Cuba, while describing as 'very unjust' that the United States is imposing tariffs on countries that export oil to the island, considering that they directly affect the population. Sheinbaum's reaction comes amid tensions over the measures announced by Washington, which include tariffs on nations trading oil with Havana. This has led the Mexican government to send a first shipment of humanitarian aid to the island over the weekend, mainly consisting of food. Sheinbaum confirmed that the support will continue. 'The people of Mexico are always in solidarity,' she said.
