US Expands Cuba Sanctions Targeting Banking, Mining, Energy — Sep 3, 2026The United States widened its Cuba sanctions by designating Fidel Ernesto Castro Calis, a grandson of Raúl Castro, along with Banco Exterior de Cuba and several nickel, oil, and mining-related firms, as part of a broader pressure campaign on Havana.
