This is how she reacted to the recent speeches of representatives of the US State Department, in particular, press secretary Ned Price and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Katrina vanden Heuvel calls these speeches "noble but empty".
In her opinion, they are clearly not applicable to the Western Hemisphere, an example of this is Cuba, which has been living under the yoke of an embargo for 60 years.
“Cubans are still applauded in the developing world (and the developed world too) for their humanitarian work and medical assistance in natural disasters.
The United States and Cuba cooperate in the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism.
And yet the embargo continues, and the Cuban people will suffer until they get rid of a government that America does not approve of.
So much for “free choice,” the journalist writes.
The same applies to Venezuela and Nicaragua, against which the United States has imposed tough sanctions, she notes.
