Is Cuba Next? Inside Washington’s Push for Regime Change

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

Cuba is at a breaking point. From severe fuel shortages to a public health crisis, the island’s economic distress has reached a fever pitch. Now, the Trump administration believes it has the leverage to do what others couldn't: force regime change. This week, Luke Vargas explores the mechanics of this renewed pressure campaign and America’s power projection abroad with WSJ’s José de Córdoba in Mexico and Vera Bergengruen in Washington.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
