“Cuban Doctors Provide Healthcare to Those in Need - The U.S. Wants to Stop Them
“The Trump administration wants to reassert hegemony over Latin America. Cuba is one of its main targets. Through right wing allies and by its own means it targets Cuba's most successful export program - the provision of Cuban doctors to countries in need of them”

Thanks for this.
Cuba's medical system has been much admired in the world for years. It is a genuine national achievement.
Naturally, the Appalachian Throwbacks now running international affairs in Washington dislike the system, if for no other reason than it speaks well of Cuba.
Cuba is on Bolton's "hit list" for sure.
In this, as in so much else, America has made itself a negative force in the world, a kind of Mafia state that focuses on hurting anything over which it has no control or which offers the world a counter-example of the way things should be done.
What an extremely nasty way to spend your days.
But then, nothing really should surprise us. America's ongoing major activity abroad - bombing the crap out of people everywhere - does offer the world an unparalleled example of viciousness.
