Cuba should be prepared to face tougher US policy

Little has changed

Enrique Ubieta, who runs a cultural website, said little has changed in Washington's policy toward Cuba, or Latin America in general, with the 19th-century Monroe Doctrine of US supremacy over the Americas relevant today.

The Trump administration "revealed to us the strength of history, not only with the issue of the Monroe Doctrine, but with the falsification of concrete facts to create pretexts to attack us," said Ubieta, referring to the diplomatic scuffle over the alleged "sonic" attacks against US diplomatic personnel in Cuba.

"Washington's behavior has been the same for all Latin America," said Ubieta. "Only the internal unity forged by Fidel Castro will allow us to survive in the future."
