Statement summary
Emma Vigeland says U.S. policy toward Cuba under Trump and Rubio is not an embargo but a siege that starves people over decades-old humiliations, with what she calls no discernible foreign policy objective other than sadism.
“This is not an embargo. The US has had an embargo on Cuba for over 60 years, and it has failed. Trump and Rubio are overseeing a siege on Cuba, starving people over decades-old humiliations to US intel and capital, with no discernible foreign policy objective other than sadism.”
