President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence announced new sanctions against Cuba during an event memorializing veterans of the “Bay of Pigs” operation on Wednesday.
Trump reiterated that the U.S. will not lift sanctions until the Cuban regime grants certain freedoms to its people, and Pence announced that the administration is drafting new sanctions against the regime to be levied in the near future. The sanctions will prohibit U.S. travelers from staying at properties owned by the Cuban government, as well as further restricting the import of Cuban alcohol and tobacco.

Cuba always gets $hit on. While China has never paid a price for Korea, Covid, stealing tech, putting people in camps, etc. Florida sure is important come election day. What a joke.
POTUS doesn't miss many chances to twist 0's tail does he?
Good point. China seems to get away with actions that should get them nuked but Cuba is just a pathetic banana republic that I would not mind having the USA just abolish the whole regime. The people are good and deserve a better life and the USA has let the a-hole commies go on way too long.
In their next term, they should make freedom in Cuba and Venezuela a priority. Get the communists out.
It is. Pulled our air and sea support at the last minute, leaving the Cuban patriots twisting and getting overrun.
Brigade 2506 left to be captured.
Sorry. I was being facetious with that comment. I am aware of the betrayal of saint jfk.
Gotcha. :-)
