What happened
María Elvira Salazar formally urged Ambassador Jamieson Greer to demand that Mexico terminate its program involving Cuban doctors. Salazar stated that over 3,000 Cuban medical professionals are operating in Mexico under conditions she described as forced labor, which she claims violates the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Meanwhile, Claudia Sheinbaum expanded the Cuban doctors program.

Why it matters
Salazar asserted that the Cuban regime profits from this program, noting that doctors sometimes receive only 5% of the payment made by Mexico, with the remainder going to Havana. The U.S. State Department previously labeled the conditions as human trafficking and modern slavery.
