The United States Department of State has announced new sanctions targeting the Cuban Ministry of Tourism and several other state-affiliated organizations. This action follows previous measures taken against Cuban leadership earlier this summer.
Key points
- Sanctions were imposed on the Ministry of Tourism, paramilitary units including special forces and territorial defense units, and various import-export companies.
- The U.S. previously sanctioned Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and other government officials in June 2026.
- The move represents a continued tightening of U.S. economic and political pressure on the Cuban regime.
Why it matters
The expansion of sanctions against key economic and security sectors reflects the ongoing diplomatic and political friction between the United States and Cuba.
