MEXICO CITY, March 6 (Reuters) - Mexican President

Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday during her regular morning

press conference that problems with a higher-than-usual content

of salt in the crude oil that state energy company Pemex pumps

have been resolved.

Mexico is an important supplier to U.S. refineries and in

mid-February, Sheinbaum and Pemex Chief Executive Officer Victor

Rodriguez conceded that some platforms had produced crude oil

with higher salt and water contents.
