Washington imposes new series of sanctions on Cuba

The United States has imposed new sanctions on Cuba, targeting the electronics sector and Any Rodríguez Lastres, daughter of the head of the Gaesa conglomerate. Relations between the US and Cuba have deteriorated significantly this year, exacerbating an energy crisis on the island. The sanctions also extend to two Chinese electronics companies accused of selling defense equipment to the Cuban government. The US claims that Cuba's ruling elite exploits the island's resources, leading to power outages and economic decline. The US Treasury warned it would sanction any foreigner involved in Cuba's electronics, technology, industry, and shipping sectors.
