INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK: William LeoGrande
“There’s no question the United States is waging an economic war against Cuba.” – American University Professor William LeoGrande
Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández sat down with American University professor and Cuba expert William LeoGrande to put Biden’s Cuba policy in context.
LeoGrande explains the reason behind Biden’s labeling of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, shows why making a change in policy toward Cuba might not affect Democrats in this year’s elections and breaks down how U.S. sanctions have made the human rights situation in Cuba worse.
