YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump vowed he would have “the honour of taking Cuba” earlier this year. To make this dream a reality, he’s tried economic coercion, imposing a punishing oil embargo on the island that has made ordinary Cubans suffer. Fuel, food, medicine and clean water are all in short supply, but the regime shows little sign of surrendering.
Dr Christopher Sabatini, director of the Latin America programme at Chatham House, joins The Economist’s geopolitics editor, David Rennie, and Sarah Birke, bureau chief for Mexico, Central America and The Caribbean, to discuss the deal on the table, the obstacles standing in its way, and what could happen next.
