Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that oil shipments to Cuba have been suspended, reflecting a decision made by Petróleos Mexicanos within the framework of its contractual relationship with the island.
During her morning news conference at the National Palace, Sheinbaum was asked about press reports indicating that Pemex had canceled a crude shipment bound for Cuba scheduled for January.
The president did not deny the suspension, but stressed that it is up to the state-owned company to decide when and how shipments are carried out.
"It is a sovereign decision, and it is made at the time deemed necessary," she said when questioned about the published information.
