Mexico to Continue Cuban Doctor Program
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.”

Sheinbaum on Wednesday defended the program, pointing to all the help Cuban
doctors have offered during the COVID-19 pandemic and in rural (鄉下的) areas
across the country.

It's unclear exactly how many Cuban doctors currently work in Mexico.
