00:00On Cuba, the President threatened to tear any country that would send oil to Cuba,
00:06but now the U.S. is letting this Russian tanker to Cuba.
00:09Is this a policy change, or is he willing to let more tankers into Cuba now?
00:15This is not a policy change.
00:17There has not been a formal change in sanctioned policy.
00:20As the President said last night, we allowed this ship to reach Cuba
00:24in order to provide humanitarian needs to the Cuban people.
00:27These decisions are being made on a case-by-case basis.
00:31As the administration has said, Cuba's non-functional economy cannot be fixed
00:35unless they undergo dramatic political and leadership change.
00:38But there has been no formal change with respect to sanctioned policy.
00:42So you could expect more tankers to go to Cuba?
00:45Again, these decisions are being made on a case-by-case basis right now.
00:48Just to clarify, why was the administration okay with Russia sending that oil to Cuba and not other nations?
00:55Look, again, this was a decision.
00:58It will continue to be made on a case-by-case basis for humanitarian reasons or otherwise,
01:02but there has been no firm change in our sanctions policy.
01:04The President Scheinbaum of Mexico also said that Mexico is exploring different ways to restart some of those shipments to
01:10Cuba.
01:11Is the administration okay with that at this time?
01:13Again, there has been no change in our sanctioned policy.
01:16We still reserve the right to seize vessels, if it's legally applicable,
01:19that are headed towards Cuba and that violate the United States' sanctioned policy.

01:27The President Scheinbaum of Mexico
01:29Gracias.
