Crackdown on Cuban Nickel: US Sanctions Target Elite Enrichment
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the sanctions target state-run nickel firms and military enterprises accused of funding Cuba’s ruling elite.
- On Thursday, September 17, the United States imposed sanctions on 11 Cuban entities, including four nickel companies, four military research firms, and three senior military officials accused of enriching the regime's elite.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio justified the move by labeling Cuba a persistent national security threat, citing military research enterprises and nickel operations that provide revenue for the regime.
- Sanctioned individuals include senior colonel Joaquin Francisco Cancio Monteagudo of SIMPRO, naval researcher Dioglis Pedrera Arguello of CIDNAV, and infantry modernization expert Julio Hurtado Betancourt of CIDAI.
- Cuba's top diplomat Bruno Rodriguez condemned the sanctions, alleging they worsen the humanitarian crisis and are "causing deaths" by restricting access to essential goods.
- Deputy Foreign Minister Fernández de Cossío stated that bilateral dialogue remains stalled, while citizens endure severe fuel shortages and frequent nationwide power grid failures this year.
