Implicaciones de nuevas sanciones al régimen cubano que anunció Marco Rubio: "operación quirúrgica"

Juan Antonio Blanco, an expert on Cuba-United States relations, analyzed the real implications of the new sanctions against the Cuban regime imposed by President Donald Trump's administration and announced by Marco Rubio on NTN24's news program. This Tuesday, the United States government announced new sanctions against five Cuban entities that generate revenue for the regime of Miguel Díaz-Canel. In a statement from the U.S. State Department, Secretary Marco Rubio reported that five Cuban entities were sanctioned following the Trump administration's executive order. The companies are Almacenes Universales, the financial firm Rafin, the Banco Financiero Internacional, and two state-owned mining companies: Geominera and Empresa Siderúrgica José Martí, popularly known as Antillana de Acero, the country's largest steel producer. "Today I am designating five Cuban entities that generate revenue for the Cuban regime, including three associated with the previously designated Business Administration Group S.A. (GAESA), and a distant relative of the Castro family, pursuant to President Trump's Executive Order (E.O.) 14404 of May 1, 2026, 'Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and Threats to U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy,'" the document states. This is because the U.S. government considers that GAESA continues to operate "as the financial arm behind the Cuban regime's repressive security apparatus." Therefore, "two of the entities designated today are financial institutions linked to GAESA and associated with moving money on behalf of the regime, and one is a logistics company linked to GAESA that executes the regime's tenders throughout the island." #NTN24 | More information at http://www.ntn24.com | Or in Venezuela: http://www.ntn24america.com Subscribe to our channel:    / ntn24   Follow us on social media!
