Cuba Braces for Trump 2.0

In January 2025, days before Donald Trump returned to the White House, Dimitri Lascaris travelled to Cuba to explore the current conditions in the country.

Lascaris also spoke to Cubans about their expectations for the second Trump administration.

One of the Cubans with whom Lascaris spoke was Luis Ramón Marín Calzada, a retiree who formerly worked for Cuba’s Ministry of Tourism.

Calzada was born before the Cuban revolution and recalled what conditions were like in the country under the U.S.-backed dictatorship. He described the transformation that Cuban society experienced after the revolution.

Calzada and Lascaris also discussed the devastating impacts of the U.S. embargo on Cuba, the current energy crisis in the country, and the attitude of Cuban youths toward the revolution.
