Cafecito y Cuba: Trump Cancels Charters, Venezuela Worsens, & Cuba Elects Governors

In this latest episode of Cafecito y Cuba we cover major developments from the first half of January, including:

(1) The implications for Cuban families and businesses of the Trump Administration's decision to cancel charter flights to all Cuban cities except for Havana

* I also give a recap of all the travel restrictions for Americans that have been implemented since Trump was elected.

(2) The current political situation in Venezuela, which has shifted largely in favor of Maduro since Juan Guaido was barred from entering the National Assembly

(3) The election of provincial governors in Cuba, a symbol of the re-distribution of power within the Cuban government as established in their new Constitution

(4) The Getting Funky in Havana concert series that brought both Cuban and American funk musicians together to form an immensely long conga line in Havana

Thanks a lot for watching familia and I hope you enjoy! If you do, it would mean the world to me if you subscribed to the podcast (:
