Video - Why Washington Keeps Doubling Down on a Broken Cuba Policy

“Cuba has always loomed large in the U.S. imagination,” says Mikael Wolfe, director of Stanford University’s Cuba Observatory. For decades, U.S. policy toward Cuba has been shaped by sanctions, pressure and political narratives that rarely face serious scrutiny. Wolfe explains how those narratives were built, why they persist and who pays the price.

We ask him why, if coercive measures haven’t worked for more than half a century, does Washington keep doubling down?

On March 18, 2026, #ErnestoLimiaDíaz posted the following on his Facebook page. Limia Díaz is a historian, writer, member of the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (known as UNEAC, its Spanish-language acronym), and director of the TV program MARCAS. He is also the author of the bilingual book Patria y cultura en Revolución (Homeland and Culture in Revolution).

Limia Díaz now provides historical context to the recent revelations by Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermudez that Havana is holding talks with the #Trump administration after Washington imposed a blockade of #petroleum shipments to #Cuba and threatened the overthrow of the #Caribbean nation’s revolutionary government.

After #BarackObama’s tenure at the White House, many expected Joe #Biden to restore engagement with Cuba. It didn’t happen. #PeterKornbluh explains that while Biden changed the tone, he never took real steps to undo #Trump’s sanctions — despite having the people and the knowledge to do so.

#CubanAmericans, #US activists, and organizations like #CodePink are going to Cuba together for a shared mission: bring humanitarian aid to the island and support the people amid a devastating US #oil #blockade.

As part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy, participants are traveling with medical supplies and essential goods, while also calling for the #Trump administration to end its siege on Cuba.

For years, Cuba has suffered the consequences of the US economic war, a policy that restricts trade and access to basic goods. In recent years, inflation, mass migration and widespread shortages have further worsened the situation on the island.

Cuba’s electrical grid collapses amid US oil blockade
Ten million people left without power in latest of outages that sparked violent protest last weekend

The #US has ratcheted up pressure this year on its longtime foe #Cuba since capturing the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro – Cuba’s most important foreign benefactor – in January. The US president, Donald #Trump, cut off Venezuelan #oil shipments to Cuba and threatened to put tariffs on any country that sold oil to Cuba, strangling the #Caribbean island’s already antiquated grid.

Cuba said on Friday that it was in talks with the US with the hope of defusing the crisis. Trump has said in recent weeks that Cuba is on the verge of collapse and is eager to make a deal with the US.

Message of solidarity with Cuba from #AMLO - with a fund appeal
(translation from the FB post below)

I am in retirement, but it pains me to see that they seek to annihilate the brotherly people of #Cuba in the name of their ideals of freedom and the defense of sovereignty.

To those who think this is someone else’s struggle, I remind you of what General Cárdenas said during the Bay of Pigs invasion: “It is not right to advocate indifference toward their heroic struggle, because their fate is our own.”

Consequently, I invite everyone to make a deposit into Banorte account 1358451779 of the civil association Humanidad con América Latina, opened by citizens, writers, and journalists to purchase food, medicine, oil, and gasoline, and to help the Cuban people. Let everyone contribute what they can!
