Is Cuba on the Brink of Collapse?

Podcast cover

The Journal.

The podcast explores whether Cuba is on the brink of collapse due to a confluence of factors, primarily the cessation of oil imports and increased U.S. pressure. It highlights the dire conditions on the island, including widespread blackouts, shortages of essential goods, and the halting of public services, leading to protests. The discussion emphasizes the role of U.S. policy, particularly the Trump administration's efforts to isolate Cuba and instigate regime change, including threatening tariffs on nations that supply oil to Cuba. Despite the U.S. efforts, the podcast raises concerns about the lack of a clear plan for Cuba's future and the potential for a humanitarian crisis.
