U.S. tightens pressure on Havana with sanctions on Cuba’s Díaz-Canel

The United States, via the Treasury Department, imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and four other individuals—including Alejandro Castro Espín—as part of expanded sanctions following an executive order signed by Trump. The move, tied to Havana’s ongoing economic crisis and to recent charges against Raúl Castro, signals renewed U.S. pressure on Cuba’s leadership.
