Washington's Strategy: Is Cuba Facing Isolation or Integration?

The Biden-Trump transition period has not slowed Washington’s offensive against Havana.

By targeting these specific individuals, Washington is attempting to disrupt the direct lines of communication between Havana and the defense ministries of its most powerful allies.
