Cuba sanctions expansion targets nine entities, two officials

The United States imposed a fresh round of sanctions on nine Cuban-linked entities and two individuals under Executive Order 14404, targeting the energy sector, GAESA-related evasion, the Port of Mariel, and the overseas medical missions program. U.S. officials say these measures aim to curb Cuba's access to foreign currency by limiting energy imports, financial services, remittance flows, and the medical missions system, while warning businesses of secondary sanctions.
