Re: Cuba
The Trump administration has a secret State Department memo — dated February 23rd — with a strategy to force Caribbean and Latin American countries to expel Cuban doctors.
Honduras and Jamaica have already ended decades-long medical partnerships. A senior Caribbean official told Politico: “Honestly, there’s a lot of fear.”
Barbados’s Prime Minister said: “We could not get through the pandemic without the Cuban nurses and the Cuban doctors.” Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister said he was prepared to lose his US visa rather than comply. Saint Vincent’s Prime Minister said: “I will prefer to lose my visa than to have 60 poor and working people die.”
These doctors serve the poorest, most underserved communities in the Western Hemisphere.
Marco Rubio calls it forced labor.
The Caribbean prime ministers call it survival.
France just invited the expelled Cuban doctors to come work there instead.
America is expelling doctors from poor countries.
France is welcoming them.
