What was said
"And so for Trump to get in and slap hundreds of new sanctions sanctions, for Biden to keep those sanctions in place, and then for Trump to exacerbate the sanctions and really tighten that boot on the neck of Cubans. Just since 2019, Mehdi, 1,800 Cuban infants have died. The infant mortality rate has skyrocketed."
Abby Martin alleges US sanctions tightened since 2019 led to 1,800 Cuban infant deaths and a sharp rise in infant mortality. She says Trump added new sanctions, Biden kept them, and restrictions have limited access to medicines, oil and high technology during power outages.
