WASHINGTON _ The White House took a step closer to allowing thousands of Cuban-Americans to sue foreign companies and others who now control real estate on the island that was seized from them by the Cuban government.
The State Department warned other countries their companies could be subject to U.S. lawsuits and have 45 days to review whether they were operating on confiscated properties.
"We encourage any person doing business in Cuba to reconsider whether they are trafficking in confiscated property and abetting this dictatorship," a State Department statement said.
