After headlines suggested Mexico had suspended oil shipments to Cuba, President Claudia Sheinbaum stepped in once again to clarify what actually happened.

Sheinbaum explained that oil from Mexico reaches Cuba through two paths: contracts managed by state-owned oil corporation Pemex, and humanitarian aid decided directly by the Mexican government. Neither, she said, has been halted.

The confusion comes at a critical moment for Cuba, as U.S. sanctions tighten and fuel shortages deepen. Sheinbaum emphasized again that humanitarian aid is a sovereign decision and will continue.

Indeed it is, as Cuba is one of the few democracies in the Americas with a government driven by humanist principles and not by billionaire oligarchs, with one of its major exports being doctors and not bombs, which has continually refused to engage in austerity even during its worst economic crises caused by US siege on the country. Anyone who has a soul believes Cuba deserves to be defended as a beacon of what humanity could be if we set aside our love for money and replaced it with a love for humanity.
