American President Donald Trump is intensifying efforts to undermine the Cuban government, putting Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in a delicate diplomatic situation. Mexico, the main oil supplier to Cuba, must navigate its relationship with an unpredictable Trump, who has threatened military interventions in Mexico to combat drug trafficking. Recently, Pemex, the Mexican state-owned company, suspended an oil delivery to Cuba, and Sheinbaum stated that decisions regarding deliveries are sovereign and will be made on humanitarian grounds.
Trump declared a national emergency and authorized tariffs against countries that supply oil to Cuba, increasing pressure on Mexico. Sheinbaum, who faces internal criticism for her party's historical ties to Cuba, has avoided directly opposing Trump, preferring a diplomatic discourse. She also warned that Trump's actions could provoke a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. While Cuba faces severe fuel shortages, former American officials warn that pressure on Mexico could lead to a regional crisis, including an influx of migrants from Cuba.
