What is President Trump’s future plan for Cuba? The oil embargo crippled the island’s economy and could cause humanitarian devastation. He has indicted former President Raul Castro for murder and imposed sanctions on Cuba’s military leaders, but what is his next move? Is he planning to use Venezuela’s playbook and unseat the 94-year-old leader? In this episode, Sarah and Anthony discuss what Trump’s options are in Cuba and whether military action is possible and possible. We also heard from Carlos Cubello – former Republican congressman from Florida, son of Cuban immigrants, and what do Cuban Americans think of Trump’s actions?
