US sanctions ​Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel in latest move to pressure island’s leadership

The US imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife, and three others, including Alejandro Castro Espín and his son Raúl Alejandro Castro Calis. The sanctions, part of the Trump administration's strategy to pressure Cuba's leadership, follow an executive order expanding sanctions and threats of military action after Venezuela-related actions. The measures aim to freeze assets and address economic instability in Cuba.
