Trump says Mexico will 'cease' sending oil to CubaWASHINGTON, United States, Feb 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Monday that Mexico would stop sending oil to Cuba, which is already struggling after supplies from its traditional provider Venezuela dried up following the fall of Nicolas Maduro. Mexico is going to cease sending them oil," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about Cuba. For years, until Maduro's ouster, the Cuban economy spluttered along on cheap supplies of Venezuelan oil. But the United States is Mexico's largest trade partner, and tariffs could damage the already slow-growing economy. She also said that during a phone conversation Thursday with Trump, the two leaders "never discussed" the issue of oil with Cuba.
