Cuba: Washington Squeezes Havana Again

Last Friday, Washington escalated its anti-Cuba policy again, with President Donald Trump signing an executive order broadening sanctions on the tiny Caribbean nation of 10 million. The move follows earlier US pressure on Venezuelan oil exports this year, which has further strained Cuba’s already fragile economy. Havana strongly condemned the measures, describing them as “collective punishment” against its population. Located just 95 miles from the US, Cuba has long lived under embargoes, with Washington pursuing regime change policies since the 1960s.
