The Trump administration is stopping migration talks with Cuba, a senior State Department official reportedly told the media outlet Café Fuerte.

Pope Francis, who died this week, was the first Latin American leader of the world’s over one billion Catholics, a critic of cutthroat capitalism and a key player in efforts to normalize relations between the United States and Cuba.

A Miami jury said Cuban American Mario Echevarría and his family are owed close to $30 million (or possibly as much as $119.4 million total) from Expedia, Hotels.com and Orbitz because they booked hotel rooms on an island off the coast of Cuba that he claims his family owned.

The New York Times makes no bones about its disdain for Donald Trump.

But when it comes to his Cuba policy, the “paper of record” rarely bothers to hold the administration to account and its shoddy reporting legitimizes the U.S. government's ongoing economic war on the island.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) last week barred scientists in six “countries of concern” from accessing 21 biomedical databases – a vast network of vital healthcare resources related to an array of conditions from Alzheimer’s to cancer. The ban impacts Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and North Korea.
