President Biden is imposing sanctions on the head of the Cuban military and the division of the Cuban Ministry of the Interior to "hold them accountable for the actions," he announced in a statement Thursday afternoon. And the president said this is "just the beginning" of sanctions.
Mr. Biden said he "unequivocally" condemns the "mass detentions and sham trials that are unjustly sentencing to prison those who dared to speak out in an effort to intimidate and threaten the Cuban people into silence." The Cuban people have the right to freedom of expression, and the U.S. stands with Cuba, he added. "This is just the beginning — the United States will continue to sanction individuals responsible for oppression of the Cuban people," the president said in his statement.More Related News
