In a memorandum sent on Monday to the Departments of State, Treasury, Commerce, Interior, Agriculture, and most other federal agencies, Trump stated that the review should focus on Cuba\u2019s treatment of dissidents, its policies toward them, how it allows funds to flow from the United States to Cuba via remittances from Cuban Americans, and limiting financial transactions that \u201cdisproportionately benefit the Cuban government, military, intelligence, or security agencies at the expense of the Cuban people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1782\">According to a White House statement, the memorandum aims to restore the hardline approach toward Cuba that the Trump administration pursued during his first term, undoing the rapprochement steps taken by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1805\"><strong data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1805\">Sanctions on Cuba<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"2417\">The document includes a total ban on direct and indirect financial transactions with companies affiliated with the Cuban military, chief among them the GAESA conglomerate, with only limited exceptions for U.S. policy objectives or direct support to the Cuban people. It also tightens travel restrictions to Cuba, including a ban on U.S. tourism, and mandates enhanced due diligence and recordkeeping for travel transactions for at least five years. Trump also directed the abandonment of previous policies intended to encourage migration from Cuba, citing the need to \u201cprevent illegal and dangerous migration.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15557\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15557\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15557 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ii9.jpg\" alt=\"President Donald Trump has directed his administration to review and strengthen Cuba sanctions within 30 days, targeting military-affiliated companies\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ii9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ii9-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ii9-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">-President Donald Trump is preparing to impose sanctions on Cuba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2479\"><strong data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2479\">U.S. Rejection of International Easing of Cuba Sanctions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2481\" data-end=\"3074\">The memorandum reaffirms the U.S. commitment to maintain the embargo on Cuba and rejects any moves to lift sanctions at the United Nations or other international bodies. It emphasizes support for a \u201cfree Cuba,\u201d promoting individual freedoms\u2014including press freedom\u2014expanding internet access, and backing an independent private sector. The memo also calls for a comprehensive review of human rights violations in Cuba, such as unlawful detentions and prisoner mistreatment, and for compiling a list of individuals wanted by U.S. courts whom Washington claims are protected by Cuban authorities.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"3076\" data-end=\"3106\"><strong data-start=\"3076\" data-end=\"3106\">Ban on U.S. Tourist Travel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"3108\" data-end=\"3652\">One of the potential key changes is an order to explore ways to ban all U.S. tourist travel to the island and to limit educational trips to groups organized and led solely by U.S. citizens. While Americans cannot currently visit Cuba for tourism, they have been allowed to travel to Havana under educational or humanitarian travel categories. The White House noted that the new memorandum \u201cimposes a ban on U.S. tourism to Cuba, enforced by regular audits and mandatory recordkeeping of all travel-related transactions for at least five years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"3654\" data-end=\"4397\">This move comes as no surprise, given Trump\u2019s earlier statements about reversing Biden and Obama-era easing of Cuba sanctions. In the days before leaving office on January 20, Biden moved to remove Cuba from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Before that, the Trump administration had placed Cuba among seven countries facing tightened visa restrictions, revoked Temporary Protected Status for about 300,000 Cubans, and imposed visa limits on Cuban officials and foreign government staff participating in Cuban medical missions\u2014criticized by Senator Marco Rubio as exploiting Cuban medical personnel. Cuba\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fern\u00e1ndez de Coss\u00edo retorted at the time that the U.S. was trying to smear the medical missions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"4399\" data-end=\"4439\"><strong data-start=\"4399\" data-end=\"4439\">Historical Context of Cuba Sanctions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"4441\" data-end=\"5591\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">On his first day back in office on January 20, Trump, a staunch critic of Cuba, reversed Biden\u2019s last-minute decision to delist Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism and reinstated partial entry restrictions on Cuban nationals. Biden, days before leaving office, had revoked Trump\u2019s 2017 order that restricted financial dealings with certain Cuban military- and government-affiliated entities and removed Cuba from the terrorism list on January 14, 2025. The U.S. first designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism in 1982, accusing it of supporting armed revolutions and terrorism.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18158\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18158 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5558888.jpg\" alt=\"President orders a 30-day review to tighten restrictions on Cuban military-linked entities, remittance flows, and U.S. tourism\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5558888.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5558888-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5558888-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump tariffs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"4441\" data-end=\"5591\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">President Barack Obama lifted Cuba from that list in 2015, only for Trump to reinstate it in January 2021 during the final week of his first term.

Those 2019 measures allowed Americans to sue entities trading in properties confiscated from U.S. citizens after the 1959 revolution\u2014rights that Trump\u2019s three immediate predecessors had suspended under the 1996 law that imposes sanctions on Cuba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-President Donald Trump is preparing to impose sanctions on Cuba in a repeat of the 2019 scenario, halting all U.S. tourist travel to the island and tightening restrictions on money flowing from the United States to Cuba via remittances from Cuban Americans.
