Trump expands Cuba sanctions beyond US companies in major crackdown on foreign enablers
The Trump administration has announced a significant expansion of U.S. sanctions on Cuba, targeting foreign companies and banks linked to the island's military-controlled economy. This new framework aims to apply secondary sanctions for the first time, potentially affecting foreign firms that operate in key sectors associated with Cuba's GAESA conglomerate. Supporters argue this move closes loopholes that have allowed foreign investment to support the Cuban regime, while critics warn it may exacerbate the humanitarian crisis on the island.
