Mexico starts shipping oil to Cuba. Tells Trump off.
2026-01-14
[X]


Translated from Spanish
Mexico sent a ship to Cuba with 85,000 barrels of crude oil, and President Claudia Sheinbaum told Donald Trump: "You don't tell me who I sell my oil to."

"The oil belongs to the Mexicans and is for the Mexicans. Neither the United States nor any other country has a say in our client portfolio. We decide who we sell to, under what conditions, and at what time," affirmed the Mexican president.
Venezuela was shipping oil to Cuba for free — in trade for the so-called barefoot doctors who would only qualify as nurses elsewhere, I’ve read. I can’t imagine Cuba can afford to actually pay for the oil they need to keep the lights on, so if Mexico is actually charging them for it things will rapidly become even more interesting down there.
