U.S. Imposes New Sanctions on Cuba's Ruling Elite, Energy, and Mining Entities

The United States has announced new sanctions targeting Cuba's ruling elite, a state-owned bank, and four entities within the country's energy, metals, and mining sectors. These measures are part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to counter what it describes as the Cuban regime's repression and activities that threaten U.S. national security and regional stability. Among those sanctioned is Fidel Ernesto Castro Calis, grandson of former Cuban President Raul Castro.
