Lo último sobre el régimen cubano: EEUU decreta nuevas sanciones y ensayos militares en Guantánamo

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced new sanctions Thursday against the Cuban state-owned company Unión Cuba-Petróleo (CUPET), amid increasing US pressure on the Cuban regime. Rubio explained that the measure was adopted under an executive order signed by Trump and accused the regime of using the energy sector as a mechanism for political control and “kleptocratic profit.” “Today I am sanctioning Cuba’s state-owned energy company, Unión Cuba-Petróleo (CUPET), under President Trump’s Executive Order 14404. Cuba’s communist elites have militarized energy as a tool for social control and kleptocratic profit,” he stated on his official Twitter account. The US Southern Command released images of ground tests at Guantánamo in recent hours, amid Washington’s pressure on the Cuban regime and just a few kilometers from the island’s capital. Through its Twitter account, U.S. Southern Command announced that ground operations drills are being conducted at the Guantanamo Bay military base to "deter malign actors." At the same time, they released a photograph of the drills being carried out with specialized personnel and helicopters. #NTN24 | More information at http://www.ntn24.com | Or in Venezuela at http://www.ntn24america.com Subscribe to our channel:    / ntn24   Follow us on our social media!
