Episode Details

Congressman Mark Pocan’s recent trip to Cuba exposed dire conditions he blames squarely on the U.S. embargo, calling current sanctions “excessively strict” and “laughable.” While the White House signals openness to a new relationship, it pins blame on Cuba’s leadership — a stance that contrasts with past administrations’ more relaxed policies under Obama, reversed by Trump.

The debate rages on: is this strategy working — or just repeating failed cycles?
