US sanctions five Cuban entities, Castro family member in latest pressure campaign, Rubio says
The sanctions target Cuba’s military-linked economy and warn foreign firms they risk U.S. financial cutoff if they do business with the blacklisted entities.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Treasury Department added Banco Financiero Internacional SA and GeoMinera SA to its sanctions blacklist, targeting Cuba's state-run banking and mining sectors to restrict regime funding.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the entities generate "revenue for Cuba" through the "exploitation of the island's mineral and metal reserves," with firms operating under Grupo de Administración Empresarial SA , which commands nearly 40% of the economy.
- Michael Bustamante, a University of Miami professor, noted the designations signal to foreign investors that "for most of these companies, it's a bridge too far," as services to these entities risk exclusion from the U.S. financial system.
- Expanding the sanctions, the U.S. targeted Annalie Lilliam Rueda Cardero, the daughter-in-law of former President Raúl Castro and wife of General Alejandro Castro Espín, widening pressure against regime leadership.
- These measures continue a broader U.S. campaign that includes murder charges against Raúl Castro and blacklisting President Miguel Díaz-Canel, while the island of 10 million people faces severe economic strains amid a de facto oil blockade.
