Mexico rejects US request to fund oil spill damages
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry rejected Washington’s plea for help paying millions in damages from the Ixtoc 1 oil spill off Campeche Bay. The statement criticized the U.S. for publicizing the request and said Mexico needs time to respond. Oil had flowed to 1.91 million barrels since June 3 with cap not expected until October. Ohio oil officials say gasoline should be available for Labor Day weekend but price worries grow as costs rise.
