Mexico suspends oil shipments to Cuba

Mexico has suspended oil shipments to Cuba due to the threat of trade tariffs from the United States but will continue sending humanitarian aid, said the country's president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

The plan of measures to revise trade relations reflects growing tensions between Mexico and the United States regarding energy resources, while diplomatic channels remain open for the exchange of humanitarian supplies.
