ONE of the most astonishing expressions of reactionary “Trumpite” politics during the global coronavirus crisis took place recently when three hard-right Republican senators — Ted Cruz, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio — introduced a Bill which calls for sanctions against countries which work with Cuban medical brigades.
Amazingly, it also seeks to classify Cuban medical brigades as victims of human trafficking.
This effectively means that Donald Trump’s US is threatening smaller countries purely for having received — or may yet wishing to receive in the future — medical assistance from Cuba during the current pandemic, which continues to cause death and devastation across the globe.
