In July 2023, the CubaAnalysisPodcast sat down with Johana Tablada, then Deputy Director General for the United States at Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the interview, Tablada describes the key features of US-Cuba relations, past and present, clarifies how the US blockade functions, explains its economic and human toll, and lists the impacts of Cuba’s inclusion on the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List. Tablada responds to US claims to champion human rights, while imposing unprecedented sanctions and pressuring countries to cut ties with Cuban medical missions worldwide.
