61 years later, Biden says Cuban sanctions “just the beginning”

Covid, plus a continuing boost from America’s 61 year long embargo of goods, services and money to Cuba caused the Cuban economy shrink 11% last year.

Massive protests have broken out in Cuba protesting the scarcity of basic goods and services.

Biden campaigned to reverse Trump administration measures rolling back Obama’s Cuban détente. Instead Biden has not only kept them in place, he’s increased them in response to Cuban unrest against worsening conditions. The new sanctions he stated were "just the beginning."

With a straight face Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reported “The Cuban people are protesting for the fundamental and universal rights they deserve from their government. Treasury will continue to enforce its Cuba-related sanctions, including those imposed today, to support the people of Cuba in their quest for democracy and relief from the Cuban regime.”

The truth is Cubans are protesting for the basic necessities of life being denied them from cruel and heartless U.S. regimes spanning 61 years and 13 presidents.

For Cubans, Uncle Sam is akin to the boss who tells his employees, "The floggings will continue...till morale improves."
