WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States imposed sanctions Thursday on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, and three other individuals, in the latest move by the Trump administration to pressure the island’s leadership that drew immediate condemnation from Havana.
Included in the sanctions are Alejandro Castro Espín, the sole son of former Cuban President Raúl Castro and Vilma Espín.
He served as an adviser to Cuba’s Defense and National Security Commission and was present when Raúl Castro greeted then-US President Barack Obama in Havana during a historic March 2016 meeting.
