The US has imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and some affiliated people and entities, the US Treasury Department's website shows.
The Cuban government did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the sanctions, which also targeted four other people and five entities, including the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba.
Diaz-Canel, 66, has served as president of the Caribbean country since taking over from Raul Castro, the brother of Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro, in 2018.
