Cuba Sends #Doctors, the US Sends #Sanctions

The #UnitedStates calls #Cuba’s medical internationalism "human trafficking" — but it’s really an internationalist lifeline for the #GlobalSouth.

On February 25, #US secretary of state #MarcoRubio announced restrictions on visas for both government officials in Cuba and any others worldwide who are “complicit” with the island nation’s overseas #medical-assistance programs. A #USStateDepartment statement clarified that the sanction extends to “current and former” officials and the “immediate family of such persons.”

QUESTIONING THE STATE
STATE DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS ON PALESTINE, CEASEFIRE, AND BEYOND

Said Arikat Al-Quds Correspondent in Washington DC
Sam Husseini Independent Journalist writing at husseini.substack.com

in Conversation with Bassam Haddad

As the world learns more about Israel’s slaughter in Gaza amid a cautious ceasefire, we host two prominent journalists, Said Arikat and Sam Husseini, who have been in the forefront of “Questioning the State” at Press briefings in the United States. In addition to the horrendous treatment one of our guests (Sam Husseini) received in a recent press conference featuring Secretary Anthony Blinken, we address the road to, potential trade-offs, and the implications of the “ceasefire” under the incoming U.S. administration. We will also address the official position of the United States on the collapse of the Syrian regime and the emerging alternative leadership.
