The #Trump administration seems to be careening toward war in the #Caribbean under the banner of stopping drug trafficking. It’s an open secret that its real objective is #oil and regime change in both #Venezuela and Cuba. It’s also been widely reported that Venezuela is not the real source of drug problems in the US.
But what few journalists are covering – and what nobody in the Trump administration dares acknowledge – is that for years Cuba has arguably been the US government’s most reliable regional ally in #counternarcotics efforts. We expose the uncomfortable (for Marco Rubio) truth about Cuba’s long track record of protecting #US borders from drug trafficking even as Washington tries to undermine its government.
