- New Tariff System Established: President Trump signed an executive order that creates a process for imposing additional tariffs on imports from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, aimed at protecting U.S. national security and foreign policy.
- Addressing Cuban Regime Threats: The order responds to the Cuban regime’s support for terrorism and regional instability, highlighting its alliances with hostile nations and its role in hosting foreign military intelligence, which poses a significant threat to U.S. interests.
- Continued Tough Stance on Cuba: This action builds on previous efforts by the Trump administration to hold the Cuban government accountable and support the Cuban people, including reversing prior policies that eased restrictions without securing reforms and implementing travel restrictions due to Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
