AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

US Sanctions Escalation: The Trump administration imposed new sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, and key regime figures, including Alejandro Castro Espín and relatives of Raúl Castro, freezing U.S. assets and tightening pressure as Havana warns of “dangerous escalation.” Tourism Hit: The squeeze is rippling through travel: Spanish hotel group Meliá says it will stop managing 15 of its 34 Cuba hotels, and Sunwing Vacations Group indefinitely suspends its Cuba program. Payments Cut Off: Cuba’s central bank says Visa and Mastercard transactions will stop from June 6 after a foreign bank ended its link to GAESA’s Fincimex, leaving stores unable to process card payments. Havana Under Strain: A new wave of criticism highlights collapsing buildings in Havana while luxury hotel construction continues, underscoring the gap between tourism spending and everyday infrastructure. Space & Symbolism: Cuba’s military posted a video of Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez planting a cedar tree, using the moment to reinforce national hero imagery amid the sanctions.
