Description

Hundreds and thousands of Cubans have arrived in the US since 2022, power outages are becoming more frequent and the island does not generate enough from exports to pay for its imports, does anything remain of the "achievements of the Revolution" such as: health, education and social equality? 

On the LatinNews podcast this week, we speak to William LeoGrande, Professor of Government and a specialist in Latin American politics and the US Foreign Policy toward Latin America and ask: what next for Cuba and the regime? 

December 2024 is the 10th anniversary of Obama's decision to normalize relations with the nation, and now Cuba's Miguel Diaz Canel has declared that his country is now in a "wartime economy."
