Rubio expands Cuba sanctions targeting GAESA and affiliates
Sen. Marco Rubio announced new sanctions on Cuba under the May 1 Trump-era executive order, targeting GAESA—the military-controlled umbrella of the Cuban economy—and entities tied to it, including Ania Guillermina Lastres Morera and Moa Nickel S.A. (MNSA) for exploiting resources and assets expropriated from U.S. interests; the action comes as the State Department boosts personnel readiness in Florida and signals more designations to come.
