The Trump administration is ramping up pressure on Cuba’s regime. Just this month, it indicted former President Raúl Castro, announced the deployment of additional military assets to the region and released a video message — featuring Secretary of State Marco Rubio — blaming Cuba’s economic troubles on its government. The push comes less than five months after the US captured one of Havana’s staunchest allies, Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, which choked Cuba’s oil supplies and plunged the island into darkness. On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura and Bloomberg State Department reporter Eric Martin discuss what’s next for Cuba’s regime, how President Trump’s Venezuela playbook is — and isn’t — playing out in Havana and the challenges both nations face as they adapt to Trump’s vision for the Western Hemisphere.

  • The thing about AI for business: it may not automatically fit the way your business works.

  • At IBM, we've seen this firsthand, but by embedding AI across HR, IT,

  • and procurement processes, we've reduced costs by millions, slashed repetitive tasks,

  • and freed thousands of hours for strategic work.

  • Now we're helping companies get smarter by putting AI where it actually pays off,

  • deep in the work that moves the business.

  • Let's create smarter business.

  • When you're running a business, the best days are the ones where priorities stay on track.

  • For midsize and large companies, that isn't always easy.

  • Risk can touch multiple parts of an organization at the same time, often in ways that aren't immediately obvious.

  • It might involve property, liability, or cyber.

  • It could stem from regulatory requirements or challenges tied to a specific industry or the scale of an operation.

  • At that level, managing risk becomes an ongoing discipline, not a one-time decision.

  • At the Hartford, the focus is on helping businesses manage risk before it turns into something more disruptive.

  • That means working with companies to identify where they're exposed, decide what matters most,

  • and put practical standards in place so risk is managed as part of day-to-day operations.

  • And when losses do happen, the Hartford can pair that risk control

  • work with insurance coverage grounded in underwriting, risk engineering, and claims experience developed over time.
