Trump Ramps Up Pressure on Cuba With Fresh Sanctions Push

President Donald Trump imposed new sanctions on top Cuban officials, the White House said, part of a months-long push by the administration to ramp up economic and security pressure on the island.

Trump signed an executive order imposing “new sanctions on entities, persons, or affiliates that support the Cuban regime’s security apparatus, are complicit in government corruption or serious human rights violations,” the White House said in a fact sheet on Friday. It didn’t name the targets of the sanctions.
