<p>During a tour of the state of Sonora, in the northwest of the
country, the president explained that the assistance will be coordinated
by the Secretary of the Navy and will include \u201cfood and other products\u201d
to address immediate needs.</p>
<p>Sheinbaum maintained that the objective is to maintain humanitarian
support and, at the same time, channel the issue of fuel through
diplomatic means.</p>
<p>\u201cWe are planning humanitarian aid to Cuba, it is aid that the
Secretary of the Navy will provide in the form of food and other
products, while we resolve diplomatically everything that has to do with
the shipment of oil for humanitarian reasons,\u201d she revealed.</p>
<p>In addition, the Mexican president denied that she had directly
addressed the matter with her US counterpart, Donald Trump, who
announced the imposition of tariffs on countries that directly or
indirectly help Cuba.</p>
<p>\u201cWe never spoke with President Trump about the issue of oil with
Cuba,\u201d she said, and noted that the issue was addressed by the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs in a conversation between Foreign Minister Juan Ramón
de la Fuente and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.</p>
<p>\u201cWe are looking for all diplomatic channels because, as we have said,
it is a matter of fundamental humanitarian aid for the island, but in
the meantime we are going to send other products that are essential for
the Cuban people,\u201d she insisted.</p>
<p>The announcement comes after Trump publicly stated on Saturday night
that he asked Sheinbaum to stop sending oil to Cuba and that the
president agreed.</p>
<p>On the same subject, Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente assured
official deputies this Saturday that Mexico will not stop humanitarian
aid \u201cwherever it is required\u201d and defended that constitutional
principles and the framework of international law support the country\u2019s
position, according to the previous note shared.</p>
