We speak with Carlos Fernández de Cossío, Cuba's deputy minister of foreign affairs, about high-level U.S.-Cuban migration talks held last week in Washington. He says U.S. policies that expedite permanent residency for Cubans in the United States play a major role in the movement of people between the two countries, but adds that the main driver of migration is the decadeslong U.S. embargo. "The economic conditions of the people of Cuba push them to migrate, and an important fact in provoking those conditions are U.S. deliberate policies of destroying the Cuban economy and make it unworkable." Fernández de Cossío also discusses the 2024 election and policy overlap between the Trump and Biden administrations, Cuba's position on the U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza, recent protests inside Cuba over living conditions and more.
