Cuba: Analyst warns blockade intensifies crisis for the Cuban population

International analyst and professor Danny Shaw shared with TeleSUR his perspective on the island’s situation amid the intensification of the U.S. blockade. He pointed to the role of Donald Trump and Senator Marco Rubio in spearheading the escalation of economic isolation, describing it as a severe campaign of hunger that most affects Cuba’s 10.5 million people. Shaw reported that in Santiago de Cuba and across the country there is a transportation crisis due to the lack of oil, with doctors and nurses working 24‑hour shifts, and teachers and children unable to reach schools. He argued that Washington’s blueprint is to provoke misery and hunger to push people into the streets, generate strikes or mobilizations, and then justify intervention in Cuba.
