Uphill on the Hill

ByBelly of the Beast Cuba

Liz Oliva FernĂĄndez travels to Washington, D.C., to find out why Joe Biden has embraced Donald Trump’s Cold War-era policy toward Cuba, devastating the island’s economy and fueling unprecedented migration to the U.S. border with Mexico. Oliva FernĂĄndez interviews Rep. Jim McGovern, former CIA analyst Fulton Armstrong, and Cuban-American business executive Carlos GutiĂ©rrez, who served as Secretary of Commerce under George W. Bush. Oliva FernĂĄndez shows how a handful of extremist Cuban-American politicians have dictated U.S. policy towards Cuba, including designating Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism without any evidence.
