MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday said Mexico will continue to have Cuban doctors work in the country at a time when other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with Cuba’s government in the face of mounting U.S. pressure.
“It’s a bilateral agreement that helps Mexico a lot,” said Sheinbaum in her morning press briefing when asked if she would uphold the agreement or give in to pressures by the Trump administration.
The leader’s support of the Cuban medical program comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has suffocated Cuba by effectively cutting the island off from oil imports and has sought to isolate the Caribbean nation in an effort to push for regime change. The U.S. has pushed to end such missions, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it a “form of human trafficking.”
morena is the only thing that keeps this agreement live when the other parties like the pri, pan & prd would have caved in long ago.
Also truke, Morena is trying to withstand the US and develop Mexico’s intellectual + industrial capacity. IOU guys a rundown on this
