MEXICO CITY (AP) \u2014 Mexico\u2019s President Claudia Sheinbaum<\/a> announced Sunday she plans to send humanitarian aid to Cuba this week, including food and other humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

Sheinbaum\u2019s comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump said he asked the Mexican leader to suspend oil shipments to the Caribbean island.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sheinbaum said at a public event in the northern state of Sonora that she did not discuss Cuban affairs in a phone conversation with Trump on Thursday. She added that her government seeks to \u201c diplomatically solve<\/a> everything related to the oil shipments (to Cuba) for humanitarian reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, Trump told reporters that he told the Mexican president not to send oil to Cuba.<\/p>\n

Following the U.S. military operation carried out in early January to remove Venezuela\u2019s President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a>, the South American nation suspended oil shipments to Cuba, which had been declining in recent years. <\/p>\n

Mexico then became the main supplier of crude oil and refined products to Havana.<\/p>\n

Mexican oil has long acted as a key lifeline for Cuba<\/a>. In its most recent report, Pemex said it shipped nearly 20,000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba from January through Sept. 30, 2025. <\/p>\n

In September, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Mexico City<\/a>. Afterward, Jorge Pi\u00f1on, an expert at the University of Texas Energy Institute who tracks shipments using satellite technology, said the figure had fallen to about 7,000 barrels.<\/p>\n
