Guillermo Beltrán walked away with two heavy bags on Thursday, each containing an essential haul — rice, beans, amaranth and crackers — complemented by a bottle of oil, large cans of sardines and canned peaches. Every label carried the same simple phrase “Made in
#Mexico.”
Beltrán, a 70-year-old Cuban father of two, was one of several hundred recipients of
#Mexican #humanitarian assistance, ordered by President
#ClaudiaSheinbaum in support of the island nation as it faces blackouts and severe fuel shortages worsened by a
#US #oil #embargo.
“I feel very grateful,” said Beltrán. “The Mexican president should be praised to the skies for showing such concern and courage.”
