Sanctions and survival: Cuba under mounting pressure

For more than six decades, the US has imposed sanctions on Cuba. In January, President Donald Trump escalated tensions by threatening tariffs on countries supplying Cuba with fuel, cutting off critical shipments from Venezuela and Mexico. Carlos Alzugaray, former Cuban ambassador to Brussels and professor of international relations at the University of Havana, spoke about Cuba's worsening energy and food shortages, while stressing that the country is continuing to survive despite mounting pressure and economic hardship. #Heat #Cuba #Havana #RaulCastro
