The United States imposed sanctions on 11 Cuban entities, including four state-run enterprises exploiting nickel reserves, four military research and development organizations, and three senior military officials. The US government stated these entities are part of a system enriching Cuba's elite while causing economic hardship for ordinary citizens. The sanctions aim to target the regime's control over resources and its military modernization efforts, citing concerns over repression and national security under Executive Order 14404.
