US Imposes New Sanctions Targeting Cuba's Economy
The United States has imposed new sanctions on Cuba, aiming to disrupt the island nation's critical machinery and exacerbate its energy crisis. The sanctions target Raul Castro's grandson and Cuban companies, with one expert stating the goal is to push the island's machinery offline. This action comes as Cuba faces deepening economic crises and has recently opened its real estate sector to foreign investment as part of reforms to attract private capital. The U.S. Treasury Department also sanctioned Turkish lender Golden Global Bank and its two subsidiaries, accusing them of facilitating Iran's oil revenue movement and access to global finance, allegations the bank denies.
