Cuban Docs were a lifeline

Well. One day she’ll be gone.


">Today, the tone has shifted. Andrew Holness, the current prime minister of Jamaica, while acknowledging the value of Cuban doctors, speaks of compliance and legality. Pragmatism has a way of sliding into acquiescence.

More striking is the transformation in Trinidad and Tobago. The prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, once an admirer of Fidel Castro, ">now echoes Trump’s condemnation of her near neighbour while entertaining deeper US military presence, genuflecting to the dictatorial US president and fawning over his minion, Marco Rubio.

It is really a mean-spirited and inhumane move and policy by the American administration to ask the Caribbean countries to end their partnerships with Cuba concerning health-care. From some reports it seems that Marco Rubio is behind the policy, he does not care about the damage he is doing, he wants to run for President in 2028, hopefully who ever will be running against him brings up his cruelty.
