Tomorrow hundreds of Cuban of solidarity activists from around the world will be arriving on the island by air, land and by boat to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people in this moment of extreme pressure on their homeland by the US.

March 7, 2026, at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Donald Trump inaugurated the “Shield of the Americas” summit, convening right-wing leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean’s “Angry Tide” around what he called a ‘counter-cartel coalition’.
