This episode is a recording of Cafecito y Cuba from last June that never made it on to the podcast. In this timely flashback, I go deep on the Trump administration's elimination of group people to people educational travel along with cruises and commercial flights to Cuba.
I talk about why isolation will not lead to a free Cuba; why our restrictive policies are the perfect scapegoat for the Cuban government; how important it is that we fix the messaging about legal travel to Cuba; why engagement will lead to change in Cuba by re-building the once prevalent civil society on the island; and much more...
The reason this episode is so timely is because on January 10th of this year, another blow to American travel to Cuba was struck when Trump cancelled charter flights to all Cuban cities outside Havana, devastating Cuban families. My thoughts on this development and a re-cap of all the restrictions since Trump took office will follow later this week.
Besitos, abrazos, y siempre pa'lante!
