The Biden administration has announced new sanctions on Cuban regime officials, the latest move that aligns the Democrat’s policies more with Donald Trump than Barack Obama
MIAMI — President Joe Biden’s Homeland Security secretary met Thursday with prominent Cuban American activists here and announced new sanctions on Cuban regime officials, the latest move that aligns the Democrat’s policies more with Donald Trump than Barack Obama.
So far, Biden's Cuba strategy has leaned more toward former President Donald Trump’s hardline approach, with the administration keeping in place existing Cuba sanctions and adding new ones targeting Cuban regime officials and entities. Mayorkas’ Miami trip coincided with the Treasury Department's announcement Thursday that it is slapping sanctions on Roberto Legra Sotolongo and Andres Laureano Gonzalez Brito of the Cuban Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces, and Abelardo Jimenez Gonzalez of the Cuban Interior Ministry.
During the transition, Biden officials acknowledged they would not go back to Obama’s same approach toward the island. In the midst of the protests, Biden administration officials began to announce sanctions, while they continued evaluating other potential policies that could tangibly benefit the Cuban people.
