The move also targets military entities, freezes assets and increases pressure on Cuba, according to the source summary.
The U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his family members and military entities under Executive Order 14404. The action freezes assets and marks an escalation of U.S. pressure on Cuba. Sanctions typically block access to property and financial interests under U.S. jurisdiction, limiting the ability of designated individuals and organizations to use the U.S. financial system.
