Havana has announced the country is nearly out of fuel. It comes after months of added pressure from Washington. The US cut off oil shipments from Venezuela and then imposed a near total oil blockade. Paired with Cuba's aging energy grid, the result was sweeping blackouts, supply shortages and a deepening economic crisis. Washington's goal is to force the socialist government to open up the economy and implement political reforms. Donald Trump has even threatened Havana with military action. So, what lies ahead for Cuba? Presenter: James Bays Guests: Ruaridh Nicoll - The Guardian's Cuba Correspondent and former editor of the Observer Magazine. Adolfo Franco - Republican strategist and former official at the Latin America and Caribbean Bureau of the US Agency for International Development. Javier Farje - Journalist and historian specialising in Latin American affairs. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly
