US Imposes New Sanctions on Cuba's Tourism Ministry, State Owned Companies The latest salvo in the economic war between Washington and Havana has left Cuba reeling.
On Monday, the US Treasury Department imposed new sanctions on Cuba's Ministry of Tourism and two state owned companies: Grupo Empresarial de Transporte Maritimo Portuario (GEMAR) and Grupo Empresarial del Comercio Exterior (GECOMEX).
This move is part of a series of economic pressures exerted by the US, which have been steadily draining Cuba's economy since 2019.
