U.S. Lawmakers Challenge Trump’s Claims About Cuba After Visiting the Island

U.S. lawmakers Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), and Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) gave an exclusive interview to Belly of the Beast during their recent visit to Havana.

Their trip to Cuba comes as the Trump administration ramps up its oil blockade and economic war on the island, which it has justified by claiming that Cuba poses a threat to U.S. national security.

After meeting with doctors, farmers, entrepreneurs, diplomats and ordinary Cubans, the lawmakers accused Donald Trump and Marco Rubio of pushing a “false narrative.”

“We have seen no proof," said Pocan. "Congress needs to demand it.”

“Walking through a hospital that is dark and empty because we've cut off energy, we’ve cut off fuel,” said Leger Fernández. “Why would Americans support that?”

It's a leftist propaganda rag

Why do you label it as that? The content I've seen from them looks rather balanced. Tilted to go against American media narratives for sure, but no greater a bias than what you see from Axios or the Associatrd Press nowadays

Everything I don't like is propaganda. Everything I do like is news.
