Today I submitted my PhD! It draws on new archival evidence to examine Che Guevara’s trade and diplomatic missions to Afro-Asia and the socialist bloc. Just in time for the World Cup too ⚽️

I spoke to Sky News about the critical humanitarian and socioeconomic situation in #Cuba following the #US #Trump #Rubio Executive Orders, imposing an oil siege and threats against entities anywhere interacting with Cuba.

8. Where are Cuba’s allies? After Cuban medical and military internationalism, assistance in disaster and crisis relief, advances in healthcare and science, where are its allies? Cuba is being abandoned at the most vital time.

7. Context of new reforms. These reforms must be understood as an accelerated and necessary response to isolation, blockade, aggression, and a slow genocide. What choice does Cuba have? They need fuel, they need currencies, and they need allies
