US issues new Cuba-related sanctions
The designations block access to U.S. financial systems and target Cuba’s military procurement network, including officials tied to Russia and China.
- On Thursday, the United States imposed sanctions on five Cuban entities and eight individuals who help Cuba secure weapons and maintain relationships with foreign militaries, including Havana's military attachés to China and Russia.
- State Marco Rubio framed the measures as a response to national security concerns, accusing Cuba of serving as a staging ground for Russia, China, and Iran to conduct operations against the United States.
- Among those designated are Alvaro Lopez Miera, minister of the Cuban Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and Chief of the General Staff Roberto Legra Sotolongo, alongside subsidiaries of the military conglomerate GAESA.
- The measures prohibit American citizens and companies from engaging in transactions with designated entities, blocking them from accessing United States financial systems and property.
- Earlier this year, Washington imposed tariffs on oil supplies to Cuba, contributing to frequent power outages as the administration seeks to intensify pressure on the island.
