President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order broadening U.S. sanctions against the Cuban government, two White House officials told Reuters. He seeks to put more pressure on Havana, following his administration’s challenge to Venezuela’s leadership. The new sanctions target people, entities and affiliates supporting Cuba’s security apparatus, or those complicit in corruption or serious human rights violations, officials said. Government agents, officials or supporters are also included. It was not immediately clear which specific people or entities were impacted by the sanctions under the order, which Reuters first reported. The order authorizes secondary sanctions for conducting or facilitating transactions with those targeted under the order, officials said.

    Yes because Cuba is such a big powerful country, and USA is very scared of them. Therefore USA has tried to kill Cuban leaders multiple times, manipulated global markets to immense harm to the Cuban economy, sanctioned Cuba for 60 years, and is now blockading oil to Cuba so even hospitals can’t function, and people die.

    And what is the crime Cuba did? Having free healthcare?

    You may laugh, that’s OK, it only shows what kind of person you are.
