WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—United States (US) Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new wave of sanctions targeting Cuban entities on Thursday, including the country’s Ministry of Construction, in the latest bid to cripple the communist government.
Several state-owned enterprises working in the metals and mining sector, which “sustain the regime’s repressive apparatus through control of key economic sectors,” were also sanctioned, Rubio said.
He also targeted three top leaders of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), an entity which “hosts international brigades at facilities across Cuba.”
