Mexican President Says Aid To Cuba Will Continue Despite US Sanctions

MEXICO CITY, Feb 10 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that her government will continue providing humanitarian aid to Cuba, despite US sanctions targeting countries that trade with or send oil to the Caribbean nation, reported Xinhua.

"There will be more support. The Mexican people are always solidary. No one can ignore the situation that the Cuban people are currently experiencing due to the sanctions being imposed by the United States," Sheinbaum said at her daily press conference.

The president called on the US and the international community to recognise that the sanctions are unfair to the Cuban people.

Mexico has recently dispatched two navy ships carrying 814 tonnes of food supplies to Cuba.
