In 2014, something historic happened. The U.S. admitted that decades of economic war toward Cuba had failed — and chose engagement instead. Historian Peter Kornbluh recalls the moment Barack Obama and Raúl Castro announced the opening on live television. “It was everything we had worked for,” he says.

The world’s leading football governing bodies, FIFA and UEFA, are facing several legal cases and increasing public pressure over their policies toward Israel, including a case before the International Criminal Court accusing their presidents of aiding and abetting war crimes, complaints over violations of anti-discrimination rules, and outrage over their positions regarding Palestine.

Last week, FIFA announced it would take no action against Israeli football clubs based in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank in response to a complaint filed by the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) in 2024. FIFA had opened two investigations into the Israeli Football Association (IFA)—one regarding Israeli settlement club teams being allowed to play in competitions organized by the IFA, and another into allegations of discrimination by the IFA. On the former, FIFA’s Governance, Audit and Compliance Committee determined no action should be taken because “the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved and highly complex matter under public international law.”

I think the main point was that Fox News falsified the news for him.

Brazil Cuba solidarity reaches new heights as trade unions and social movements launch coordinated efforts to support Cuba amid a severe energy crisis triggered by U.S. pressure. On February 14, 2026, the Unified Federation of Petroleum Workers (FUP) formally requested an emergency meeting with state-owned Petrobras to arrange urgent fuel deliveries to the Caribbean island.

The campaign, dubbed “Petróleo para Cuba” (Oil for Cuba), counters recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. He imposed potential tariffs on nations or entities supplying hydrocarbons to Cuba, exacerbating fuel shortages that cause rolling blackouts and disrupt essential services.

Yes, China is sending many solar panels and other renewable tech to Cuba. But not quickly enough to avoid a major collapse of the power grid in the short term. They still need oil.
