YOU might not have read much about in the so-called “mainstream” media, but the increasingly hawkish Donald Trump administration has recently announced the most severe economic sanctions against Cuba since the illegal US blockade was first introduced in 1962.

As part of this, speaking in Miami in April on the 58th anniversary of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion (April 17 1961) where the Cuban people heroically resisted the island being invaded, National Security Adviser and warmongerer in chief John Bolton announced the end of virtually all non-family travel to Cuba and new limits on the amount of money Cuban Americans can send home to family.
Astonishingly, and taking a step even other right-wing administrations shied away from, he also confirmed that the US government would fully implement Title III of the Helms-Burton Act.

This is a very dangerous step in Washington’s aggressive policy, aimed at discouraging companies from other countries to invest in Cuba.
