In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Cuba teeters on the edge of collapse, as a U.S. oil blockade targeting Venezuela cuts off critical fuel supplies to the island, triggering widespread blackouts, shortages, and a growing wave of Cubans fleeing the country. I'll have the details. The Trump administration orders nearly thirty U.S. ambassadors home, creating major gaps in the diplomatic corps—even as the White House pushes an aggressive diplomacy-first approach abroad. Instability grows inside Syria, with gun battles erupting in Aleppo while negotiations continue over folding Kurdish forces into the regime's control. And in today's Back of the Brief: Kim Jong Un cuts the ribbon on a luxury seaside resort, pitching high-end tourism in one of the most isolated countries on earth.

Este 24 de diciembre, 73 personas fueron remitidas al “Torito” Tragedia en Iztapalapa, incendio deja dos mujeres fallecidas  Cuba pasa la Navidad con apagones que afectarán al 60 % del paísMás información en nuestro Podcast

VOV1 - Hôm nay (25/12), Báo Thế giới và Việt Nam, Cơ quan truyền thông của Bộ Ngoại giao phối hợp với Đại sứ quán Việt Nam tại Cuba và Đại sứ quán Cuba tại Việt Nam tổ chức Lễ ra mắt Đặc san “Việt Nam - Cuba: 65 năm chung nhịp đập hữu nghị”.

Après beaucoup d'attente, le résultat est donc connu: le conservateur Nasry Asfura a remporté 40,3% des suffrages, contre 39,5% pour son rival libéral Salvador Nasralla, selon la commission électorale nationale (CNE) du Honduras, ce 24 décembre 2025. Cette proclamation de victoire intervient 24 jours après les élections du 30 novembre, en cause, rappelle le journal El Heraldo : « des retards et un recomptage spécial qui a duré plusieurs jours. » Alors que Reporters sans Frontières estime que la presse hondurienne connaît une lente descente aux enfers depuis le coup d'État de 2009, créant un climat de peur et d'autocensure au sein des médias, le journal espagnol, El Pais, s'intéresse aux critiques et à la défiance dans l'opposition : « L'annonce du vainqueur a été marquée par des accusations et des dénonciations de la part des membres de la commission électorale, composée de représentants des trois partis politiques en lice : le parti Libre au pouvoir, le Parti national et le Parti libéral », peut-on lire. « Je me rends au parquet pour porter plainte contre la fraude électorale en cours », a dénoncé sur les réseaux sociaux Marlon Ochoa, membre du Parti Libre. La presse dresse aussi le portrait du nouveau président Asfura. El Heraldo, commente : « À 67 ans, cet homme d'affaires et ancien maire de Tegucigalpa se présente comme une figure de contrastes : ses partisans le voient comme un leader infatigable qui préfère les bottes de travail et une chemise bleu clair au costume formel, tandis que ses détracteurs le perçoivent comme un homme politique reclus qui évite les débats de fond sur les problèmes structurels du pays ».  La Prensa, recontextualise cette victoire : « Nasry Asfura, connu parmi ses partisans sous le nom de "Papi a la orden", est parvenu, lors de cette seconde tentative, à accéder à la présidence de la République sous la bannière du Parti national conservateur. [Parti qui] cherche à revenir au pouvoir après une période de déclin politique entre 2010 et 2022, marquée par des accusations de corruption et de trafic de drogue contre d'anciens responsables ». À lire aussiPrésidentielle au Honduras: face à un retard «intentionnel» dans l'annonce des résultats, la population s'indigne Derrière l'annonce de cette victoire, l'ombre de Donald Trump « Les États-Unis félicitent Asfura, soutenu par Trump, pour sa victoire au Honduras », titre le journal argentin La Nacion aujourd'hui. Il mentionne au passage la réaction du président d'Argentine, Javier Milei qui en profite pour attaquer la gauche : C'est « une défaite retentissante pour le narco-socialisme ». El Universo, quotidien équatorien, rappelle qu'Asfura, « le magnat du BTP, a remporté la présidence à sa deuxième tentative, cette fois avec le soutien de Trump qui, à l'approche du scrutin (...), a menacé de couper l'aide à l'un des pays les plus pauvres d'Amérique latine s'il ne votait pas pour son candidat. La présidente [sortante progressiste] Castro a (même) accusé Trump d'ingérence électorale. » Il faut dire que le président américain Donald Trump a publiquement exprimé son soutien à Asfura, trois jours avant l'élection. C'était via son réseau social, Truth Social, mentionnant au passage le président Vénézuélien : « la démocratie est mise à l'épreuve lors des prochaines élections dans le magnifique pays du Honduras, le 30 novembre. Maduro et ses narcoterroristes vont-ils s'emparer d'un autre pays comme ils l'ont fait avec Cuba, le Nicaragua et le Venezuela ? » À lire aussiPrésidentielle au Honduras: le conservateur Nasry Asfura, soutenu par Donald Trump, déclaré vainqueur La presse américaine commente le résultat Le Washington Post mentionne à son tour le chaos de ces élections et souligne que les propos de « Trump ont également suscité des accusations d'ingérence électorale de la part de candidats et de personnalités politiques de tous bords ». Pour la directrice du bureau Amérique de l'ONG Human Rights Watch, interrogée par le Washington Post : « il ne fait aucun doute que le moment choisi pour les déclarations de Trump était délibéré (...). L'effet immédiat était prévisible : il a probablement renforcé la position d'Asfura dans la dernière ligne droite de la campagne ». Dans le New York Times, la déclaration du secrétaire d'État américain est reprise dans les colonnes du journal. Les États-Unis n'ont pas tardé à saluer la victoire « claire » et « incontestable » du conservateur Asfura, appelant toutes les parties « à respecter les résultats ». Des observateurs étrangers avaient afflué au Honduras pour l'élection, qui, d'après eux, a démenti prédictions d'ingérence malgré les accusations lancées de part et d'autre. Un observateur électoral confie toutefois au journal américain : « De sérieux doutes subsistent quant à l'intégrité du scrutin en raison de l'écart extrêmement faible et de la profonde méfiance du public envers le processus électoral. Cela aura un impact sur la crédibilité du gouvernement ». Le candidat Nasralla a dénoncé un « vol » de l'élection. Rixi Moncada, reléguée à la troisième place, parle pour sa part d'une « falsification » du résultat et de l' « ingérence » du président américain dans le scrutin.

By 1816, Frederic Tudor had spent a decade shipping New England ice to Cuba—with little to show for it. Setbacks and vanished profits nearly ruined him, and a gamble on shipping tropical fruit had left him barely solvent. Then a chance conversation sparked a bold new idea: expand the ice trade into the American South. Tudor rushed to South Carolina, only to clash with state officials who refused to grant him a monopoly on trade – a tactic he'd come to rely on. Their refusal forced him to rethink everything, and revise his strategy. But just as he began to find success, a series of catastrophes threatened his health, and events were set in motion that would transform the Ice King's future forever.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Cuando la vida nos obliga a esperar, ¿qué está haciendo Dios en medio de ese silencio? En este episodio descubrimos, a través del libro de Miqueas, cómo la espera puede convertirse en el taller donde Dios forma un pueblo humilde, perseverante y lleno de esperanza en Cristo.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/oKPSkG-Z2Dw Fidel Castro transformó su imagen en los años 70 para seducir al exilio cubano y abrir un canal con EE.UU. El Diálogo del 78 fue mucho más que una reunión: fue estrategia pura. En plena Guerra Fría, mientras el mundo miraba hacia otra parte, el régimen castrista comenzó una operación política cuidadosamente calculada. Con el apoyo indirecto de Jimmy Carter y la mediación del banquero exiliado Bernardo Benes, Cuba lanzó una campaña para legitimar su imagen internacional sin ceder poder real. Este episodio, conocido como el Diálogo del 78, marcó un punto de inflexión: por primera vez, el régimen comunista abría la puerta —controladamente— al exilio que había llamado “gusano” por décadas. Desde los primeros encuentros secretos en Panamá, hasta los viajes encubiertos de Benes a La Habana y su histórico cara a cara con Fidel Castro, esta historia es un thriller político con consecuencias reales: liberación de presos políticos, reencuentros familiares, pero también amenazas, traiciones y una fractura irreparable en el exilio cubano. Este video es la primera parte de una serie documental que desvela los verdaderos hilos del poder detrás del “gesto humanitario” del castrismo. ¿Fue Benes un héroe, un peón o un traidor? Tú decides.VIDEOS RELACIONADOS:Parte I: https://youtu.be/oKPSkG-Z2DwParte II: https://youtu.be/gE6djnsIPA4

En América Latina diciembre suele ser un tiempo de luces, procesiones y banquetes familiares navideños. Sin embargo, no todos los latinos viven la Navidad de la misma manera, en algunos países esta celebración ha sido resignificada, limitada o incluso prohibida en ciertos momentos de su historia.

As I write this, it's Christmas Eve. While many of us are moving through a season of comfort and predictability, I keep returning to what I saw walking through the streets of Cuba. Not in headlines or statistics, but at street level. Neighbourhoods without running water. Electricity that fails often enough to be expected. Roads and sidewalks eroded into improvisation rather than repair. Infrastructure that no longer supports daily life, but merely endures alongside it. What struck me most were the small, improvised economies operating inside people's homes. Corner shops carved out of living rooms and front windows. Shelves mostly empty. A few scattered items; soap, canned goods, a bottle or two; offered more as possibility than supply. These were not businesses in the conventional sense, but acts of persistence. People selling what little they could source, not to grow, but to survive. In contrast, government stores stood rigid and bare. Long lines formed early, people waiting patiently for whatever might arrive. No certainty, no choice; just endurance. Elderly men and women stood apart, looking through windows rather than lining up, watching quietly, as if calculating whether the effort was worth the return. There was no anger in their posture. Just fatigue. A lifetime lived long enough to recognize scarcity as permanent rather than temporary. And yet, the streets were not chaotic. Homes were occupied. Communities functioned. People greeted one another. Children played. There was dignity in how life continued despite the absence of systems meant to sustain it. Pride, not in conditions, but in endurance. A refusal to surrender daily routines, even when the state no longer reliably provides the basics those routines depend on. That contrast stayed with me. Material failure on one side; social cohesion on the other. Institutions visibly broken, yet communities holding themselves together through habit, restraint, and mutual recognition. As we sit surrounded by abundance and choice, Cuba offers a sobering reminder; collapse does not always look like disorder. Sometimes it looks like people quietly adapting, carrying on, and preserving dignity in circumstances that leave very little room for it. Cuba's Economic Landscape The Cuban economy rests on three pillars, each one cracked. State control dictates production and distribution, yet delivers neither predictably. Tourism brings foreign currency when it comes; when it doesn't, entire sectors go dormant. Remittances from family abroad keep individual households afloat but cannot repair what the state has allowed to deteriorate. I watched this play out in Holguín. Hotels near the beaches sat half-empty, their lobbies staffed but waiting. Tour buses passed through neighborhoods where residents had no meaningful contact with the tourist economy happening beside them. The money flows in narrow channels, reaching some while bypassing most, and when global disruptions close those channels entirely, there is no backup system. The pandemic proved this. When travel stopped, so did the pretense of economic diversification. Jobs vanished. Services contracted. The state stepped in where it could, but its capacity had already been stretched thin by decades of deferred maintenance and misallocated resources. Families with relatives in Miami or Madrid survived on wire transfers; families without them made do with less. The government has acknowledged the brittleness, at least partially. Small private businesses now operate legally in food service and retail; spaces that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. Joint ventures with foreign companies receive official encouragement. On paper, these reforms signal openness. On the ground, they operate within boundaries so narrow that growth remains theoretical rather than realized. Because the fundamental problem persists: there is not enough of anything. Goods arrive sporadically. Industrial output continues its decline. Foreign investors cal...

America's new National Security Strategy reflects a fundamental change in U.S. policy. It prioritizes America maintaining its preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, while avoiding military competition with China as well as European conflicts. At the same time the White House has taken pen to paper on its new policy, military pressure on Venezuela is ramping up as the Trump administration sanctions oil tankers in the region. This week on Talking Geopolitics, GPF Chairman George Friedman joins host Christian Smith to discuss these escalations and what it all has to do with Cuba.

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the emergence of the "New Left" in 1960s America—a movement born from the failure of Cold War liberalism to deliver on its promises.Drawing on Kim McQuaid's The Anxious Years, we delve into the deep disillusionment that fuelled student radicalism. Why did young activists view "vital centre" liberals like JFK and LBJ not as allies, but as "closet right-wingers" trapped in an imperialist mindset? We examine the "bipartisan banality" of the era, where fear of being labelled "soft on communism" drove Democrats to escalate wars in Vietnam and Cuba, often with more ferocity than their Republican counterparts.From the devastating psychological blow of the Tet Offensive to the collapse of trust in the "foreign policy establishment," we uncover why 1968 became the year the liberal consensus shattered.Plus: Big announcements about our upcoming live masterclasses for history students in January and February 2026!Key Topics:The New Left: How the SDS and student radicals challenged the "Old Left" and the liberal establishment.Cold War Liberalism: Why Democrats felt compelled to "out-hawk" the Republicans.The Credibility Gap: How the Tet Offensive exposed the lies of the war managers.The "Deep State": The origins of the term and the critique of an unelected power elite.Books Mentioned:The Anxious Years: America in the Vietnam-Watergate Era by Kim McQuaidThe Great Fear by David CauteExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Donald Trump anunció la semana pasada un “bloqueo total y completo” a todos los petroleros sancionados que se dirijan o salgan de Venezuela. Esto supone algo realmente serio que multiplica la presión sobre el régimen de Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela depende por entero de las ventas de ese petróleo en el mercado internacional. En el caso de que fallen las exportaciones las expectativas para Maduro y el chavismo serían muy negativas y comprometerían su continuidad en el poder. Trump anunció en bloqueo en una publicación de Truth Social en la que adelantaba que Venezuela está “completamente rodeada por la mayor armada jamás reunida en Sudamérica” al tiempo que amenazaba con incrementar la presencia militar hasta que el régimen devuelva el petróleo, las tierras y los activos robados a EEUU. Con esto se refería a las nacionalizaciones de empresas estadounidenses. El anuncio ha venido acompañado de la incautación de petroleros en alta mar que salían o navegaban hacia Venezuela, lo que ha provocado que muchos buques hayan dado media vuelta. Esto ha reducido de forma notable el tráfico marítimo en los puertos venezolanos. Desde hace tiempo el Gobierno chavista se sirve de una flota “fantasma” iraní y rusa para evadir las sanciones. Aunque un bloqueo total sería un acto de guerra, este es parcial ya que excluye a los buques de la compañía Chevron, que disponen de una licencia recién renovada por la Casa Blanca. El impacto es devastador para Venezuela, pero también para Cuba, el principal aliado de la Venezuela bolivariana desde hace un cuarto de siglo. Desde que Hugo Chávez llegó al poder el país recibe petróleo regalado a cambio de médicos y, sobre todo, inteligencia cubana que es muy útil para el régimen. El suministro a Cuba ha pasado de unos 100.000 barriles diarios en 2008 a unos 27.000 en estos momentos. Si se interrumpiese por completo agravaría la crisis económica cubana, la peor desde que Fidel Castro se hizo con el poder en 1959, peor incluso que el periodo especial tras la caída de la Unión Soviética. La situación en Cuba es de extrema gravedad. La economía se ha contraído un 20% en los últimos años, la inflación supera el 450%, aproximadamente el 90% de la población vive en pobreza extrema y un 70% de los cubanos no se puede permitir comer a diario. Hay apagones de hasta 18 horas seguidas, escasez de agua potable, se acumula la basura por las calles y se están propagando enfermedades infecciosas en un país cuyo sistema sanitario colapsó hace tiempo. Como consecuencia de todo lo anterior, desde 2020 casi 3 millones de cubanos (una cuarta parte de la población de la isla, muchos de ellos con titulación superior) han emigrado a EEUU, Europa y varios países de Hispanoamérica. Se está produciendo un vaciamiento demográfico no muy distinto al de los países que atraviesan una guerra. Las reservas de divisas del Gobierno están en mínimos y se reponen con dificultad ya que el turismo, una de sus principales fuentes, está gripado. Si la ofensiva contra Venezuela continúa Trump podría cobrarse dos pájaros de un tiro: en Caracas a Nicolás Maduro y en La Habana a Miguel Díaz-Canel. En ambos casos han decidido resistir sobre la espalda de su propia población. Pero eso no puede durar eternamente.

In this episode of One Decision In Brief, hosts Christina Ruffini and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, dive into a very controversial and perplexing mystery, Havana Syndrome. The hosts break down a range of surveillance devices possibly used in Havana, Cuba, against U.S diplomats and embassy staffers, and explore whether foreign rivals like Russia, China, or Cuba could be responsible. Sir Richard speaks on his intelligence experience, providing real-world examples of Cold War espionage, including Soviet listening devices hidden in embassy walls, and how the accidental use of a laser beam allowed for the interception of private conversations. They examine how advanced eavesdropping tools and listening devices might unintentionally harm U.S. officials and whether the government has done enough to investigate cases or support those affected with long-term trauma.  Episode produced by Situation Room Studios.

Got a question? Let us know!Made for Mondays | The Christmas PlaylistLight That Can't Be ManufacturedThis week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and Doug as they lean into the heart of Christmas week and unpack Sunday's message about real joy and real light—the kind that doesn't come from a playlist, a purchase, or pretending everything is fine.After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation 10–15, Psalms 145–157, and Proverbs 30, the conversation turns toward a timely and honest question:✨ What's the difference between manufactured cheer and received joy?As Christmas approaches, the group reflects on the ways we often try to produce joy—through nostalgia, noise, shopping, control, or even religious performance—when what we actually need is to receive joy as the fruit of abiding in Jesus. Jamey shares how Christmas music can sometimes feel like it's trying to convince our souls everything is wonderful, even when life feels dark.The discussion explores:• Chasing a mood vs. staying close to Jesus How do we tell when we're chasing a feeling instead of abiding in Christ? The group shares honest “litmus tests” that reveal when joy has become something we're forcing rather than receiving.• Darkness and light Jamey unpacks the idea that darkness isn't a thing—it's the absence of light. Spiritually, that shifts the battle. Instead of staring at darkness, we're invited to step toward the Light. What does that look like practically? The team offers simple, doable steps—like intentional prayer, confession, community, or a single act of obedience—that help move us closer to Jesus when gloom starts creeping back in.• Shining brighter in real life Rooted in Matthew 5, the BIG IDEA comes into focus: In a world getting darker, we need to shine brighter. Not performative faith—but quiet faithfulness. Reconciliation. Costly generosity. Staying at the table with people we disagree with. The group shares real-life examples of what that kind of light looks like when it shows up in everyday moments.• Light beyond our walls The conversation connects to The Gift and Believers' partners in Cuba, highlighting how faithful believers there are shining the Light of Jesus in powerful, practical ways—and why it's such a gift to be part of what God is doing through them.• Community in the dark seasons Jamey revisits a story from one of his darkest seasons, where isolation played a central role. Doug and Tyler reflect on how deeply they relate—and why community isn't optional for spiritual health. The group also points ahead to Steps and the importance of getting connected to a small group in the New Year.Join Us This Week

David Blanco is a master cigar blender and the heir to a cigar legacy dating back to 1886 — a legacy his family lost when they fled Cuba during the communist takeover. In this episode, David joins Bryce to share how his family rebuilt in America and how he revived their cigar business against overwhelming odds. They break down the craft behind premium cigars, why they’re nothing like cigarettes, and how cigars uniquely create community by slowing people down and bringing people together. The conversation also touches on David’s military service, the fight against government overreach, and the story behind the We Are All Charlie cigar — created to honor Charlie Kirk and the values of God, family, and country.

De son enfance turbulente à son procès hautement médiatisé, découvrez son sulfureux destin. Le procès le plus controversé des années 70 Engagé corps et âme dans la lutte communiste et antifasciste, Pierre Goldman est connu dans le 5ème arrondissement comme LA personne à avoir à ses côtés en cas de combat de rue contre les étudiants d'extrême droite. Mais au fond de lui, il rêve de combats plus importants, plus héroïques, plus historiques ! Et en 1967, il décide de partir pour Cuba et de s'engager dans la lutte armée révolutionnaire au Venezuela. Mais les choses ne vont pas tout à fait se passer comme prévu, et sa déception va progressivement le pousser vers un chemin plus sombre… Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Elie Olivennes Production : Bababam Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

America's strategic focus is shifting back to its own neighborhood. In this episode of STRAT with retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer, we examine how U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere is evolving into what many call “Monroe Doctrine 2.0.” Drawing on history, current events, and hard geopolitical realities, the discussion explores renewed American assertiveness toward Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and Venezuela. The episode traces the origins of U.S. hemispheric dominance, the legal and political legacy of past territorial ambitions, and how those precedents collide with today's post-colonial world. It also assesses mounting military pressure near Venezuela, the risks of escalation, and the humanitarian consequences of regional conflict. With China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba all shaping the strategic environment, the United States faces difficult choices between action and restraint. This conversation highlights the dangers of unintended consequences and asks whether renewed hemispheric engagement can succeed where recent overseas nation-building efforts have failed.Takeaways:The Monroe Doctrine remains central to U.S. strategic thinking“Monroe 2.0” reflects renewed hemispheric assertivenessGreenland has long been considered strategically valuable to the U.S.Annexation rhetoric carries serious diplomatic consequencesPanama Canal treaties reshaped American power projectionVenezuela poses military, political, and humanitarian risksEscalation could destabilize the entire region through refugee flowsGreat-power competition heightens stakes in the Western Hemisphere#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #MonroeDoctrine #WesternHemisphere #USForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #LatinAmerica #Venezuela #PanamaCanal #Greenland #ChinaRussiaIran #MilitaryStrategy #NationalSecurity #GlobalStability #PowerPolitics #UnintendedConsequences #HemisphericSecurity #ForeignAffairs

- A pesar de las advertencias de EE.UU., lópez y Sheinbaum le han regalado millones de litros de gasolina a la tiranía cubana. - Eso representa una pérdida de miles de millones de pesos para Pemex, que de por sí está en los huesos y quema miles de millones al mes. - ¿Tú les crees a lópez y a Sheinbaum que regalamos miles de millones de pesos a Cuba por “humanismo”? - El gobierno de Trump está muy enojado, y tú deberías estarlo también. - Mi sospecha es que estos regalos multimillonarios son la muestra de una alianza entre las tiranías mexicana, cubana y venezolana para aferrarse al poder. - Quizá pronto lo sepamos.

In a wide-ranging discussion w/ the eminent historian of Latin America Aviva Chomsky we laid out the motives and purposes of Trump's aggression against the region currently ongoing. We began w/ Venezuela, and discussed the history of U.S. subversion there and Trump's current obsession with its oil. We also talked about Cuba, which is another, if not bigger, goal of the current administration. More generally we discussed the way the U.S. has undermined and destroyed Latin American economies, and how it's contributed to our current immigration crisis.Bio//She is a professor of history and the Coordinator of Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies at Salem State University in Massachusetts."Author of Is Science Enough?: Forty Critical Questions About Climate Justice," "Central America's Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration" and "Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal."-----------------
