Mexico Confirms Resumption of Oil Shipments to Cuba Amid US Blockade

Mexico officially confirmed it will resume oil and fuel shipments to Cuba, defying the US economic blockade. The move was confirmed by President Sheinbaum following her March 30 announcement. Mexican ships carrying humanitarian cargo had already been documented arriving in Cuba by Al Jazeera. The decision escalates diplomatic tensions with Washington at a sensitive moment when Mexico is seeking to protect its trade position under USMCA while avoiding new cartel-related tariffs.
