US EditionMexico Weighs Stopping Oil Shipments to Cuba Amid Concerns of Trump Retaliation: Report
Mexico's review of oil shipments to Cuba follows halted Venezuelan supplies and fears of U.S. retaliation amid ongoing energy shortages and trade negotiations, with 17,200 barrels daily shipped, sources say.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum's government is weighing whether to halt or scale back oil shipments to Cuba as officials grow increasingly uneasy behind closed doors.
- Venezuelan shipments have stopped, leaving Mexico as Cuba's most important supplier, while President Donald Trump warned there will be `no more oil or money` and U.S. officials monitor aid closely.
- Between January and September last year, Mexico shipped roughly 17,200 bpd of crude and 2,000 bpd of refined products to Cuba, which helps keep Cuba's energy infrastructure running.
- Some officials warn cutting shipments could cause a humanitarian crisis and migration toward Mexico, while others fear risking U.S. retaliation; Mexico’s need for a favorable USMCA trade agreement review complicates the decision.
- The choice pits Mexico's geopolitical and economic interests against Cuba's deep energy crisis marked by chronic blackouts and fuel shortages, highlighting regional consequences of any cutoff.
