**A sudden gap’: poorest to suffer from #Trump’s drive to stop Cuba sending doctors to its neighbours** *People across Latin America and the Caribbean find themselves without care as countries bow to US pressure* https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/26/poorest-to-suffer-trump-drive-to-stop-cuba-sending-doctors-to-its-neighbours/ from #TheGuardian April 26, 2026 >In recent months, many people across #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean have suddenly found themselves without #healthcare, as nearly a dozen countries acquiesce to pressure from the US to end #medical agreements with the Cuban government. >The #US claims that the programme amounts to “forced labour” for #doctors, who have most of their salaries withheld by the Cuban government. >#Cuba acknowledges the retention but denies any human rights violations, saying the allegation is merely a pretext for the White House’s efforts to economically strangle the island and force regime change, which include the now months-long blockade of oil shipments. #OilForCuba! #EndTheBlockadeEmbargo #CubaSolidarity #news #politics #USpol
