President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday broadening U.S. sanctions against the Cuban government. The move is intended to put more pressure on Havana following the ousting of Venezuela's leader from power.
According to the White House, the new sanctions target top Cuban officials. This action is part of the administration’s effort to force the regime to give up power.
The fresh sanctions include targeting entities, affiliates, and people who support the Cuban government’s security apparatus. It was not immediately clear which specific people or entities were impacted by the order.
