Overview
- Mexico, which sent a new humanitarian ship Monday, said it will keep aid flowing to Cuba to ease shortages facing the island.
- Federal sources told La Jornada the cargo left from the Asipona Pajaritos port in Coatzacoalcos on the Asian Katra with beans and powdered milk.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico will not send petroleum because Russia is supplying Cuba with fuel and the focus is now on food and essentials.
- U.S. measures now reach many non‑U.S. firms that do business with Cuba in energy, defense, security, and finance, raising the cost and risk of support to the island.
- Tensions have grown after President Donald Trump said he would take control of Cuba almost immediately, and the United Nations responded that there is no military solution and urged dialogue.
