Cheap Oil Hits Cuba Hard

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The low oil price is hitting livelihoods and communities around the world. Will Grant reports from Havana, Cuba where the flow of cheap crude from Venezuela is drying up. Presenter Rob Young speaks to Latin America analyst Richard Feinberg of the Brookings Institution about what the looming energy crisis might mean for the Cuban government. Meanwhile, Regan Morris has been to Bakersfield, California, where the donkeys have stopped nodding, and many angry former oil workers are throwing their lot in with Donald Trump.
