AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

U.S. Sanctions Escalate on Cuba’s Leadership: The Trump administration imposed new Treasury sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife Lis Cuesta Peraza, and stepson Manuel Anido Cuesta, plus Alejandro Castro Espín and relatives, along with entities tied to Cuba’s security and control system (MINFAR, CDR, ICAP, Amistur Cuba, and Minera La Victoria). Havana condemned the move as pressure and “blockade” tactics. Tourism Shockwaves: The crackdown is hitting Cuba’s travel economy as foreign firms and payment networks pull back to avoid secondary sanctions, with hotel operators and card processing disruptions adding to already weak visitor numbers and fuel-driven chaos. Rubio Targets “Enablers”: Secretary of State Marco Rubio also warned U.S.-linked groups tied to ICAP, framing it as part of Cuba’s intelligence and radical outreach. Humanitarian & Community Response: A Florida “Helping Hands for Cuba” drive is collecting rice, pasta, beans, oil, soap, and bandages for families on the island. Science & Diplomacy: Russia and Cuba signed an MoU to jointly develop cancer vaccines, while China rejected U.S. terrorism claims against Cuba as “invented and groundless.”
