  • Summary

  • On the show today, we check in with Kimberly to hear more about her adventures in Cuba, a country that’s back in the news thanks to President Donald Trump’s commitment to establish a massive migrant detention facility at Guantánamo Bay. We’ll explain how Trump’s promised crackdown on immigration could affect the Cuban economy. Plus, more on how Cubans have managed to make do under a strict U.S. trade embargo, from dealing with medicine shortages to navigating a pandemic without Zoom.

    Here’s everything we talked about today:

    • “Trump Says U.S. Will Hold Migrants at Guantánamo Bay” from The New York Times
    • ​​“Timeline: U.S.-Cuba Relations” from the Council on Foreign Relations
    • “Trump moves to end refugee resettlement and parole for Cubans, Haitians and Venezuelans” from The Miami Herald
