Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba last week, delivering an unusually blunt assessment of U.S. policy.

After meeting with Cubans from across the political spectrum, and visiting a hospital impacted by the Trump-imposed oil blockade, they described U.S. policy in stark terms, equating it to warfare against the Cuban people.

Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández sat down with Jayapal and Jackson in an exclusive interview in Havana.
