Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wants to resume oil shipments to Cuba, which is experiencing an energy crisis stemming from a U.S. blockade. 

Cuba has seen only one oil shipment since the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January. Venezuela had been the main supplier of energy to Cuba before the capture. Since then, a single Russian tanker dropped off 730,000 barrels of oil in March, which was used in one month, the Associated Press reported. 

Mexico was also a key supplier of oil to Cuba when Maduro was still in power, but the shipments were suspended when President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on any country that provides or sells oil to the island. 

Sheinbaum said her administration would seek to resume commercial shipments through private companies that have permits to transport fuel to Cuba. The statement had no further details.
