After the leak of a report that allegedly claims that, due to pressure from the US government, Mexico stopped sending oil to Cuba, President Claudia Sheinbaum disclaimed any responsibility in the matter, stating that It is the contracts established with the state-owned Mexican Petroleum (PEMEX) that determines to whom hydrocarbons are sold and the frequency of these agreements. An article published by Bloomberg, based on documents to which it had access, states that Pemex not only halted an oil shipment destined for Cuba, but also removed the island from its export schedule, despite the fact that the arrival of hydrocarbons to the Caribbean nation was planned before the end of the current month. The article even points to the Swift Galaxy as the vessel responsible for transporting the canceled cargo, without detailing the reasons for the suspension. However, the motivation behind the controversial decision appears to be a threatening message issued a few days ago by President Donald Trump. "No more oil or money for Cuba. Nothing! I strongly urge you to make a deal, before it's too late," he wrote on the Truth Social platform. Apparently These words forced the Mexican government to cut off its oil supply to the island. When questioned about this, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, indicated that the terms established in the contracts signed with Pemex determine whether or not hydrocarbon exports occur, implying that agreements to supply the island may no longer exist. "There are two ways in which oil is delivered to Cuba. One is through contracts established by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) with a Cuban government institution. Pemex determines, according to the contract, when it is sent. The other is through humanitarian aid." sent. I never said it had been suspended; that was a later interpretation based on a newspaper article," she stated.

Regarding the possibility of delivering oil to Cuba for humanitarian reasons, the President of Mexico simply stated that this would depend on analyzing the request from the Cuban government.
