US Imposes Sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel in Latest Move to Pressure Leadership
The sanctions freeze U.S. assets and expand pressure on Cuban leaders as Washington targets five people and multiple state-linked entities.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Raul Castro's son Alejandro Castro Espín, three relatives, and five government entities in a coordinated enforcement action.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the move targets 'the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.' Ambassador Mike Waltz demanded 'immediate' economic and political reforms at the United Nations.
- Sanctioned entities include the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces , travel agency Amistur Cuba, and mining firm Minera La Victoria, alongside the Instituto Cubano de Amistad con Los Pueblos and the Comités de Defensa de la Revolución.
- Díaz-Canel condemned the 'aggressiveness and perversity' of the U.S. government. Frank Mora, a professor at Florida International University, warned that escalating sanctions may prove 'counterproductive' and deepen diplomatic standoff.
- President Donald Trump suggested U.S. forces could 'stop by' Cuba after operations in Iran, though experts note military action remains unlikely despite the rhetoric. Trump claimed sanctions aim to help the country function properly.
