Fuck the embargo
For real. Why is that still a thing. Oh right, commies bad. SMH
Obama did a lot of work towards ending it, but Trump reversed some of it and now Biden is apparently busy with something else.
This is really good, the blockade extending to oil has taken like two years off life expectancy
Awesome!!! Mexico should become a significant regional power and initiatives like this one are a nice little start
If we sanction Mexico, can I still get avocados? /s
Stop by the house I'll give you some off my tree.
Living the dream. I’m growing one now. I’ve tried before, but they always die. By the time it gets big enough for outside, the climate will be just right.
US: Mexico is a hostile communist nation and we need to act. USApes: Bomb them y'all. I'll start by murdering innocent mexican kids I see at the mall.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mexico began regularly shipping crude oil to Cuba at the end of the first quarter of this year.
Since then, it has shipped about 2.8 million barrels to the island, which suffers from frequent power outages and fuel shortages, according to independent data.
"However we can help the people of Cuba, we're going to do it," said Lopez Obrador in a regular press conference.
He said Mexico did not have to request permission from any foreign government to aid Cuba, which he said suffered from an "inhumane and unjust" embargo.
"If they tell us, 'Sell us oil, because we don't have any way of getting it,' of course we're going to do so," Lopez Obrador said, ruling out that the aid could cause frictions with the United States.
Cuba was put under a U.S. economic embargo after Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution.
