Pair Discussion Questions

  1. Why has the U.S. increased pressure on Cuba’s oil supply now, and what effects has this had on Cuba’s energy and daily life?
    (Consider both the political reasons and the real effects people notice in Cuba.)

  2. How do the personal and political motivations of leaders — such as U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — influence this situation?
    (Think about why the video suggests this issue is personal for some U.S. leaders.)

  3. What arguments are presented (or implied) about whether these actions are meant to pressure the Cuban government or harm everyday citizens?
    (Consider how people inside Cuba might experience the effects differently from how leaders describe them.)

  4. Do you think cutting off access to oil and trade is an effective way to influence another country’s government? Explain your reasoning.
    (Students should consider both humanitarian impacts and political goals.)

  5. How do other countries’ relationships with Cuba — such as Mexico, Venezuela, or Russia — complicate the idea of Cuba being “cut off from the world”?
    (Think about whether Cuba really is isolated, or if global politics makes the situation more complex.)
