I knew it, this is all about Trump wanting to build more casinos to bankrupt. Batista has to have a relative in Portugal they can tout as the future leader of Cuba? Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff can be the new version of Myer Lansky and Lucky Luciano; Microsoft and Amazon the new United Fruit Company.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

From the Forbes article mentioned in the video, Meet The Florida Sugar Barons Worth $4 Billion And Getting Sweet Deals From Donald Trump:
ASR is now the world’s largest cane sugar refiner, and it’s entirely owned by Florida Crystals. For 26 years, the Sugarcane Growers Cooperative of Florida owned a minority stake, but the Fanjuls bought the co-op out in 2024 for an undisclosed amount.
Apart from Florida Crystals, the Fanjuls’ most high-profile business is the Dominican Republic’s agricultural and tourism conglomerate Central Romana. They own 35%, worth about $190 million, according to corporate records in Luxembourg. Central Romana is also the Dominican Republic’s largest sugar producer, which the Biden Administration banned from importing into the U.S. in 2022 amid allegations of forced labor on some of its sugar farms. At the time, the government’s investigation of Central Romana included accusations of 11 different indicators of forced labor, including abuse of vulnerability, isolation, withholding of wages, abusive working and living conditions and excessive overtime.
Minor correction: Forbes misread the report they link to; it actually says that, of the International Labour Organization’s 11 indicators of forced labor, CBP identified five of them in their review of Central Romana's operations.
