President Donald Trump's administration has intensified financial restrictions on Cuba, targeting key commercial sectors and strengthening the enforcement of rules prohibiting American visitors from transacting with state-affiliated entities.
The Treasury and State departments announced measures Thursday against nine government-run mining, metal and construction firms, alongside leadership at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, known as ICAP. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the group of directing "a vast subversive network in the United States aimed at identifying, cultivating, and radicalizing" Americans.
