Cuba is facing a deepening energy crisis due to a lack of petroleum, leading to severe power outages and shortages. Mexico seeks to restart oil shipments to provide relief.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that her country seeks to restart oil shipments to Cuba soon, a move that could provide much-needed relief as the island’s crises deepen given a lack of petroleum.
The lack of fuel has worsened an energy crisis on the island that produces only 40 per cent of the petroleum it needs, leading to severe power outages, reduced work hours, water shortages, suspended surgeries and spoiled food.
Sheinbaum said she wants to take advantage of a package of free-market reforms that Cuba’s government recently approved, leveraging Mexican business owners who are already on the island.
