Will the U.S. invade Cuba?

from Front Burner

In a major escalation of its months long “maximum pressure” campaign, the United States announced it has indicted Raúl Castro, former president of Cuba, over the downing of two planes flown by a group of Cuban exiles targeting the regime in 1996.It was a move officials within the Trump administration had been signalling would happen after the director of the CIA met with Cuban officials in Havana. We speak to Peter Kornbluh, an author and senior analyst at the National Security Archive specializing in Cuba, about whether this signals a Venezuela-style strike on the country.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
