President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order broadening U.S. sanctions against the Cuban government, two White House officials told Reuters. He seeks to put more pressure on Havana, following his administration’s challenge to Venezuela’s leadership. The new sanctions target people, entities and affiliates supporting Cuba’s security apparatus, or those complicit in corruption or serious human rights violations, officials said. Government agents, officials or supporters are also included. It was not immediately clear which specific people or entities were impacted by the sanctions under the order, which Reuters first reported. The order authorizes secondary sanctions for conducting or facilitating transactions with those targeted under the order, officials said.

    They’re allies of people you don’t like? How does that harm the US. That’s what I asked.

    Then you said none of the first part of your comment matters because the only reason is that they’re talking shit. That’s the reason for killing them? They’re too mouthy for you? You’re just as petty and small minded as Trump if that’s the justification for defending him.
