US imposes sanctions on Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel and associates

Sanctions are also being imposed on some members of former President Raúl Castro's family.

Miguel Díaz-Canel criticizes the US's "aggressiveness" in a post on X, writing that the US aims to deepen the conflict between the two countries.

The United States has been putting increasing pressure on Cuba in recent months. In addition to its long-standing trade embargo, the United States has also cut off oil supplies to the island, which is suffering from a deepening economic crisis.

US President Donald Trump has also threatened to take control of Cuba.
