To avert catastrophe, Cuba must make a deal with the United States—one that includes “concessions substantial enough for Trump to sell as a victory,” argue @MJ_Busta and @ric23.

America’s Cuba policy is a failed relic of the Cold War. I was honored to speak with experts @FP4America’s 2026 Leadership Summit about how to fix it.

A good place to start: END the embargo. For 60 years, it’s done nothing but cause ordinary Cubans to suffer. That must change.

The 15 Latin Americans deported from the US to Kinshasa are holed up in a hotel by the airport, where there are water cuts, rats, and lots of mosquitoes. They have no passports, don't speak French, and have no idea what comes next. My story for @NPR: https://t.co/wlfVrqRMLd

Bloomberg Businessweek gave me the impossible task of recommending 5—just 5—sources to read up / stay current on Cuban history, economics, and political affairs. Only in English, desde luego.

Here's my best attempt.
