Washington.- The United States Government will allow Mexico to supply oil to Cuba, despite the threats of President Donald Trump to leave Havana without crude, according to the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, during an interview with CBS.
Wright said that U.S. policy is to “
allow” Mexico to continue taking oil to Cuba, according to the official to CBS News, a network that says another official also supports this statement.
The secretary’s statements come after Trump said on Sunday on his social media that “
there will be no more oil or money for Cuba: zero“.
According to an official cited by CBS under anonymity, the United States Administration would not be seeking Cuba to collapse without oil but expects it to “abandon its communist system”.
Amid tensions, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel assured that there are currently no conversations with the Trump administration, except for contacts related to migratory issues.
After the capture of the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, Cuba was exposed to an imminent negative effect due to the halt of bilateral relations with the South American country.
For her part, the Mexican president,
Claudia Sheinbaum, said previously that her country is willing to be the “best communication vehicle” between the United States and Cuba.
