Mexico Sends Humanitarian Aid to Cuba as U.S. Tightens Blockade

HeadlineFeb 13, 2026

Two Mexican ships carrying urgent humanitarian aid arrived in Cuba’s capital Havana on Thursday as the United Nations warns the island is facing humanitarian collapse due to the Trump administration’s oil blockade. Infant mortality is also on the rise in Cuba as the United States tightens its decades-old economic embargo on the island as part of Trump’s efforts to overthrow the Cuban government. We’ll have more on Cuba later in the broadcast with Cuba’s Ambassador to the U.N. Ernesto Soberón Guzmán.
