Cuba Braces for Trump 2.0

While visiting Cuba last week, I spoke to Cubans about current conditions in their country and their expectations for the second Trump administration.

One of the individuals with whom I spoke was Luis Ramón Marín Calzada, a retiree who formerly worked for Cuba’s Ministry of Tourism. Luis was born before the Cuban revolution and recalled what conditions were like in the country under the U.S.-backed dictatorship.

We also discussed the devastating impacts of the U.S. embargo on Cuba, the current energy crisis in the country, and the attitude of Cuban youths toward the revolution.
