President Trump’s new memorandum on Cuba, which is already old, seems less like the harsh and terrifying verbal outbursts of the eccentric White House tenant and more like the libidinous and nauseating language of the anti-Cuban political operators in Miami.
But regardless of who wrote the presidential libel, the document is a rehash of the 2017 Trump memorandum that paved the way for the 243 coercive measures imposed on Cuba during the first Trump administration.
More measures, more hatred, more aggression, more blockade, more attempts to intimidate US citizens who want to visit Cuba and foreigners who try to invest in the Caribbean nation are the backbone of the Memorandum released on June 30. (more…)

Andres Castro is a Nicaragua national hero who in 1856, at the Battle of San Jacinto, having no more ammunition, struck down an attacking yankee soldier at close quarters with a stone.
The unprovoked criminal aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran has further deepened the crisis in international relations already taken to unprecedented extremes by the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people. Telesur has cited a report by the Harvard University Dataverse platform which puts the number of people missing in Gaza since October 7th 2023 at 377,000. Together with the 56,000 deaths formally registered by the Palestinian authorities, this implies that the Zionist genocide in Gaza has claimed the lives of more than 430,000 people, about half of them children.

Cuba’s women volleyball team
We are running this article to demonstrate just how far the tentacles of the criminal and mean spirit nature of the US blockade and Trump’s new round of sanctions against Cuba reaches.
The Cuban women’s national volleyball team has been denied US visas to compete in the NORCECA Women’s Final Four tournament in Manatí, Puerto Rico. This decision, confirmed in late June 2025, just weeks before the tournament, has sent shockwaves through the world of international sports and raised important questions about the intersection of immigration policy, sports diplomacy, and the rights of athletes to compete on the global stage.

Growing up in Venezuela and now living in the United States, I’ve always felt caught between two independence days: July 4th and July 5th. Two celebrations. Two flags. Two very different ideas of what it means to be free. (more…)

Although it seems like years, it is only five months since President Donald Trump took office for the second time in the White House. His goal – effectively condensed in the slogan MAGA (Make America Great Again), that is, to do whatever needs to be done to regain the lost primacy – contemplates an unconventional socio-economic-political revolution whose scope involves us. For many reasons, Argentina and, above all, our South, is in the Trumpist “restoration” plan. (more…)

The Trump Administration’s “new” memorandum violates the rights of an entire nation and ratchets down every loop hole of Cuba’s right to interact with the nations of the world. They keep throwing these restrictions on the wall to see what sticks in frustration as dignified Cuba stands tall. (more…)
