US Imposes Sanctions on Cuban President, Relatives, and Government Entities
The United States imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, relatives of former President Raúl Castro, and several Cuban entities, including the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. This action, part of the Trump administration's intensified pressure campaign, follows previous sanctions on Cuban officials and aims to address Cuba's economic and political situation amid ongoing US embargoes and recent criminal charges against Raúl Castro. The Cuban government has not yet responded to the sanctions.
