MEXICO CITY, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday her country would seek diplomatic solutions and alternatives to help Cuba after the United States threatened tariffs on nations that supply the Caribbean nation with oil.

Citing three "senior Mexican government sources," Reuters reported that the Sheinbaum administration is "reviewing whether to keep sending oil to Cuba amid growing fears ... that Mexico could face reprisals from the United States over the policy.

Trump seeks to choke off oil supplies to Cuba, a move that's created a diplomatic challenge for Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday her government has at least temporarily stopped oil shipments to Cuba, but struck an ambiguous tone, saying the pause was part of general fluctuations in oil supplies and that it was a "sovereign decision" not made under pressure from the United States.

President Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on any country that delivers oil to Cuba appeared to be directed largely at Mexico, the only nation that has sent any meaningful fuel shipments to the island.
