Donald Trump has threatened sweeping sanctions on any country that provides oil to Cuba — an escalation of the U.S. blockade that reaches far beyond U.S.–Cuba relations.
In this episode of the Eco Mindset podcast, Alex Tyrrell speaks with Samantha Hislop, co-chair of the Canadian Network on Cuba, about what these extraterritorial sanctions actually mean, why oil shipments are critical to Cuba’s economy, and how global pressure is being used to isolate the island through fear, trade coercion, and financial controls.
The conversation explores how the blockade works in practice, who it impacts most, and why resisting it is not just about Cuba, but about sovereignty, international law, and the right of countries to trade freely without U.S. interference. We also look at which countries are stepping up, how tourism and material aid matter, and what ordinary people around the world can do to support the Cuban people during this moment.
This is a discussion about solidarity, resistance, and the real choices facing the international community as economic warfare against Cuba intensifies.
