Because I think like that's the first step to understand how the sanctions are affecting the Cuban people.
Because if you say, oh, the sanctions is affecting Cuba, but then you say like it's affecting
this baby to have access to the medication.
It is affecting this family that is struggling to get the surgery for his kid that Cuba used to practice in a day-by-day basis.
But then from day to another, they stopped to do it because they run out of resources.
But of course, because in 2019, the United States government, that was the Donald Trump first administration, started to implement new sanctions and screw the tools to the Cuban government to try to suffocate the country in general.
So I remember in 2019, September was the start of the oil crisis.
the oil blockade that started to sanctions oil tankers that were coming to Cuba to bring oil.
It wasn't just January 20, 2026.
And in May, they also start to do like a tourism.
So everything started to stop in Cuba.
So I don't follow, like, actually what is the goal?
Because at the beginning they say, well, we are going to, like,
terminate the country we don't care about nothing we are going in and we're going to destroy everything and then Trump say okay we are going to allow this uh the Russian oil tanker to go in and whatever it wants but it's it's it's unclear what is this is gonna work and also it's like why we need to ask the United States permission to do like a normal uh trade with the rest of the world
It's going beyond that.
It's like Cuba has been...
stop to have the capacity to buy raw materials that we need to produce the medications that we need inside of Cuba.
We need to think about that.
And nowadays, none.
You go to a drugstore, empty.
