US not after true change of policy on Cuba: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Carol Gould, an investigative journalist in London, and Ajamu Baraka, with the Institute for Policy Studies, in Colombia, to discuss the US and South America relations.
Pointing out to Washington’s hostility toward Latin American nations, Baraka says a change of policy towards Cuba under US President Barack Obama seems ‘cosmetic’ and his government continues to pursue the same policies practiced by his predecessor, George W. Bush, toward the countries in the region.
The political expert adds that US rapprochement with Cuba is aimed at maintaining Washington’s hegemony in Latin America just like its policy of gaining dominance over other countries throughout the world.
“I don’t believe that the US has any intention to really support the sovereignty, the national independence and the self-determination of any of the states in Latin America,” he argues.
Gould, for her part, says some 80 percent of Latin American countries have experienced a very bad and hostile history with the US, so it seems to be very difficult for both sides to amend the existing bitterness
She also concludes that President Obama wants to leave a legacy in Washington-Havana relations.
