Two ships of the Mexican Navy arrived in Cuba today, delivering 800 tons of humanitarian aid amid the island's severe economic crisis exacerbated by pressures from Washington.
Today, two ships from the Mexican Navy, the Papaloapan and Isla Holbox, docked in Havana, Cuba, carrying over 800 tons of humanitarian aid. This delivery comes as Cuba faces a significant economic crisis, which has been worsened by ongoing sanctions and pressures from the United States. The humanitarian assistance is part of a broader effort by the leftist Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum to support the struggling nation during these challenging times.
The cargo delivered by the Mexican Navy consists mainly of essential goods, including powdered milk, meat products, biscuits, carrots, rice, and hygiene items. This aid is crucial for addressing the basic needs of the Cuban population, which is suffering due to economic hardships and food shortages. Journalists from Agence France-Presse reported on the arrival, highlighting the significance of this gesture of support from Mexico.
Furthermore, the Mexican government is negotiating the potential transmission of oil supplies to Cuba, seeking a way to support Cuba without facing sanctions from the U.S., which has threatened tariffs on any country providing fuel to the island. This diplomatic balancing act reflects the complex relationship between Mexico, Cuba, and the United States, particularly during a time of humanitarian crisis for Cuba.
