The Trump administration seems to be careening toward war in the Caribbean under the banner of stopping drug trafficking. It’s an open secret that its real objective is oil and regime change in both Venezuela and Cuba. It’s also been widely reported that Venezuela is not the real source of drug problems in the United States.

But what few journalists are covering – and what nobody in the Trump administration dares acknowledge – is that for years Cuba has arguably been the U.S. government’s most reliable regional ally in counternarcotics efforts. We expose the uncomfortable (for Marco Rubio) truth about Cuba’s long track record of protecting U.S. borders from drug trafficking even as Washington tries to undermine its government.

In this new report, in which Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández breaks down the hypocrisy of the Trump administration’s war on drugs and how Cuba is not exporting drugs to the United States – it is actually stopping them from getting there.
