Exclusive: Mexico weighs stopping oil shipments to Cuba amid concerns of Trump retaliation, sources say

MEXICO CITY, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The Mexican government is reviewing whether to keep sending oil to Cuba amid growing fears within President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration that Mexico could face reprisals from the United States over the policy, which is a vital lifeline for the Communist-run Caribbean island, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.
A U.S. blockade of oil tankers in Venezuela in December and the dramatic capture of President Nicolas Maduro this month have halted Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, leaving Mexico as the single-largest supplier to the island that suffers from energy shortages and mass blackouts.

Sheinbaum has been very, umm....agreeable to what Trump the God demands. She raised tariffs on Chinese cars, a lot. She handed over how many "cartel members" to the US. Cutting off oil to Cuba is one thing that is probably not likely to hurt Mexico, as they can probably find other buyers.
