- President Sheinbaum warns US oil tariffs on Cuba could cause a humanitarian crisis.
- The tariffs, imposed by President Trump, target countries like Mexico that supply oil to Cuba.
- Cuba's leaders are condemning the tariffs as a “brutal act of aggression” against their nation.

A: Hey Kenji! Did you hear about something crazy happening with the US and Cuba?

B: No, what’s up, Maria? Tell me!

A: Okay, so President Trump just put new tariffs on countries that sell oil to Cuba.

B: Tariffs? That sounds…complicated. Why would he do that?

A: Well, apparently he wants to pressure Cuba, especially since Mexico sends them a lot of oil.

A: Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is really worried.

B: Worried how?

A: She says it could cause a humanitarian crisis in Cuba! Hospitals, food… everything could be affected.

B: Wow, that's serious! Isn’t the US also supposed to be helping Cuba sometimes?

A: Exactly! Sheinbaum pointed that out too. She's trying to figure out how to support Cuba without getting Mexico in trouble.

B: Did she talk to Trump about it?

A: Yeah, they had a call, but she said he didn't even mention Cuba!

B: Seriously? That’s harsh! Cuba’s president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, is super angry too. He’s been posting about it online.

A: He thinks Trump is trying to ruin Cuba’s economy. Cuba's foreign minister is calling it aggression. It’s pretty intense!



B: That’s awful for the Cuban people. I hope they can find a good solution.
