“Clamping Down on Cuba’s Military & Elite”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”

Air Date Monday, May 11, 2026

As the world watches updates from Iran, the Trump Administration is clamping down on a fledgling communist country just 90 miles south of Key West, Florida.

The country is Cuba, which has a military complex that has an iron-clad grip of oppression on its people and runs every aspect of the government. Add to that a handful of elites, and together they keep the country poor and stuck in the 50s.

But all that could change, ushering in joy and expectations for Cubans whose families fled the island in search of refuge in Florida.

President Trump announced “decisive action” to protect US national security by imposing stiff sanctions on Cuba’s military and elites.

Cutting off “access to illicit assets” will hopefully soon bring the communist country down.
