Arnold August, author of “Democracy in Cuba and the 1997–98 Elections,” explains how Trump is escalating the decades-long U.S. blockade of Cuba into a new phase of economic warfare, cutting off fuel and threatening any country that tries to help. He discusses the deepening crisis on the island and the long history of U.S. efforts to destabilize the country. He also challenges the dominant narrative about “democracy” in Cuba and the propaganda driving Washington’s policy. #breakthroughnews
