#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 #US 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 US 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.

Mexican president will uphold Cuban doctor agreement as other countries dip out

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country would continue to have Cuban doctors work in Mexico. It comes a time when other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with Cuba’s government in the face of mounting U.S. pressure. The leader’s support of the Cuban medical program comes as President Donald Trump has sought to isolate the Caribbean nation in an effort to push for regime change. The U.S. wants to end such missions, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it “forced labor” and a “form of human trafficking.”
