Cuba’s Remaining Lifelines in Peril as Trump Widens US Sanctions

Sweeping new US economic sanctions on Cuba could chase international companies off the island as Donald Trump’s administration continues to threaten military force to dislodge the 67-year-old regime.

On Friday, Trump unveiled measures that would allow Washington to target almost any non-US citizen or entity involved in business on the island. While specific targets are yet to be determined, the order says it will focus on defense, mining, finance and security.
