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 move, part of the Trump administration's pressure on Cuba, followed threats of military action and economic measures that have caused blackouts and shortages. Díaz-Canel condemned the sanctions as an escalation of US aggression.
