Jeremy Corbyn traveled to Havana as part of an international solidarity delegation from Nuestra América Convoy and stated that the crisis in Cuba is the direct result of the blockade, not the Cuban government. “It's time for all of us to step up and show solidarity with Cuba,” said Corbyn.

Historian #PeterKornbluh recalls the moment #BarackObama and #RaúlCastro announced the opening on live television. “It was everything we had worked for,” he says.

According to Mikael Wolfe, director of Stanford University’s Cuba Observatory, sanctions on Cuba are among the most systematic, extraterritorial, and long-lasting in the world. “Yes, Cuba trades with other countries—but is it normal trade? Not even close,” he said.

‘Cuban People Act with Creative Resistance’ (II)

This is the second of two parts with excerpts from the transcript of a press conference Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez gave on March 13, 2026, as the Cuban people continued to resist Washington’s siege on their country. With characteristic frankness and transparency, Díaz-Canel responded to Trump’s threats and to journalists’ questions about the everyday challenges the Cuban people are diligently working to overcome. Challenges resulting from Washington's relentless economic war, escalated recently with the U.S. blockade preventing any petroleum from reaching the country.

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?

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.
