00:00We go to Mexico, where President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that oil shipments to Cuba
00:06was a sovereign decision of the Mexican state and reiterated its government's solidarity with the Caribbean island.
00:12During her morning press conference, the President affirmed that Petróleos Mexicanos Pamex
00:16is responsible for making its own decisions regarding crude oil
00:20and were based on established contracts and government's decisions of humanitarian character.
00:26The statement was made in response to a report from the Bloomberg News Agency
00:31about the consolation of a shipment scheduled for mid-January on the vessel Swift Galaxy.
00:37The President indicated that in any case, information will be provided on the resumption of shipments
00:44and recalled that the contractual relationship with Cuba has had periods in which no crude oil was sent
00:50and others in which it was.
00:56It is a sovereign decision.
01:01Pamex makes its own decisions.
01:03So, as we have said, Mexico's decision to sell or give oil to Cuba for humanitarian reasons
01:10is a sovereign decision that has been in place for many years.
01:19It is not new.
01:21Cuba has been under a blockade for too many years now
01:25and this blockade has led to supply problems on the island.
01:34Mexico has always been supportive and will continue to be supportive.
01:39The decision about when and how to send it is a sovereign decision.
01:44The decision of when and how to send it is a sovereign decision is a sovereign decision.
