Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated this Tuesday that mechanisms are being developed to allow private companies to transport fuel to Cuba, which is under a US energy embargo.
“We are working on it. Primarily through—it hasn’t restarted—but the mechanism would be through private companies that have the permit to transport fuel to Cuba.” She asserted in response to a question about whether oil trade between the two countries had resumed.
During her usual press conference, the head of the Executive Branch stated from the National Palace that they have been working on this for some time. “We hope that it can be resumed soon on a commercial basis. It’s not a humanitarian issue, but a commercial one,” she clarified.
“Humanitarian support continues,” she added, “(now it would be) the commercial aspect. Which also hasn’t been discontinued, but with the new characteristics approved by the Cuban Congress and Government. Since from there there can be greater commercial relations with Mexican businesspeople in Cuba.”
On June 9th, the head of the Executive Branch reaffirmed her country’s decision to continue sending material aid to the Caribbean nation. Amidst the strengthening of the economic, commercial, financial, and energy blockade imposed by Washington.
For more than six decades, the United States has maintained a blockade against Cuba. Which was tightened last January through an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump.
The lack of access to fuel resulting from this intensification affects. Such sensitive areas as electricity generation, the operation of hospitals, food production and distribution, and water pumping in the Caribbean nation.
