The United States Department of State has announced a new round of sanctions targeting key sectors and officials within the Cuban government. The measures include the addition of the Mariel Container Terminal and the Cuban Minister of Public Health to the U.S. blacklist.
In addition to these designations, the sanctions extend to the state-run agency responsible for medical missions, three companies operating within the energy sector, and several entities linked to the business conglomerate GAESA. According to the U.S. government, these specific entities were involved in transferring control of the Mariel port in an effort to circumvent previously established economic restrictions.
