President Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on goods from countries supplying oil to Cuba, significantly affecting Mexico, which has been a crucial oil supplier.

Trump’s recent statements assert a complete cessation of oil and funds to Cuba, aiming to push for a transition away from its communist government.
