Mexico Dispatches Humanitarian Aid Convoy to Cuba After Blackout
A humanitarian aid convoy carrying food and medical supplies departed Mexico for Cuba following a nationwide blackout that left the island in the dark for more than 24 hours. President Sheinbaum said she was looking for ways to send fuel to Cuba without impacting Mexico's own energy supply, amid a U.S. oil blockade. Mexico previously halted oil shipments to Cuba after Trump threatened tariffs on any nation sending oil to the island. The convoy represented a middle-ground humanitarian gesture maintaining solidarity while navigating U.S. pressure.
