U.S. imposes new sanctions on five Cuban entities and one individual.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions targeting five Cuban entities, including three linked to the military-run conglomerate GAESA, a state mining company, and a steel producer, as well as one individual tied to the Castro family. The measures aim to disrupt revenue flows to the Cuban regime and come days after Havana announced economic reforms. Cuban officials condemned the sanctions as aggressive and dishonest.
