Mexico City, January 29 (Xinhua) — Mexico will continue to supply oil to Cuba despite pressure from the United States, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced at a press conference at the National Palace on Wednesday.
This decision is in line with Mexico's historical foreign policy, and oil supplies are part of the country's sovereign decisions, she stressed.
According to K. Sheinbaum, the deliveries are being made under contracts between the state-owned oil company Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and a Cuban government agency as part of Mexico's humanitarian aid to Cuba. She added that Pemex is responsible for ensuring deliveries are in accordance with the contracts.
K. Sheinbaum commented on rumors that emerged after Bloomberg's publication that Mexico was bowing to US pressure and suspending oil supplies. "I never said anything about whether they were suspended… That's a later interpretation based on a newspaper article," the president said, denying any official decision on the matter.
Mexico remains committed to providing humanitarian aid to Cuba, K. Sheinbaum emphasized. However, she declined to say whether future aid shipments would include oil, noting that such decisions depend on specific agreements between the two countries.
