Jeremy Corbyn on Cuba, Trump and US power

About this interview

I speak with Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North, former Leader of the Labour Party and co-founder of Your Party, ahead of his trip to Cuba carrying medical aid. We talk about the impact of the blockade, the role of solidarity movements, and why he believes Cuba continues to face pressure from Washington. Corbyn argues that US foreign policy under Donald Trump is a strategy of maintaining global dominance, targeting Cuba, Venezuela and Iran while serving corporate and military interests. The conversation also covers the Cuban model of healthcare, education and sustainability, debates around civil liberties, the future of the international left, the role of music and culture in resistance, and the influences that shaped his own politics.
