Alumni College: The Future of US-Cuba Relations

If Cuba's future was not already very uncertain, the advent of the Trump Presidency has raised a number of additional questions about how Raul Castro's efforts to reform the island's economy and politics will be sustained. The prospect of an uncooperative Washington and a failing Venezuela suddenly leave Cuba with fewer options. Al Montero, Frank B. Kellogg Professor of Political Science, Director of Advising and Faculty Diversity Recruitment, and Director of Political Economy at Carleton, addressed these and many other aspects of Cuban politics, the economy, and the future of the island's relations with the United States.
