And the Trump administration announced it is ending the people-to-people program for travel to Cuba—the most popular way for Americans to visit Cuba in spite of the embargo, through organized group trips. Private cruises to the island will also be banned. According to a statement by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the ban is in retaliation for Cuba “providing a communist foothold in the region and propping up U.S. adversaries in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua.” The move is just the latest in the Trump administration’s attempt to squeeze the economy of Cuba. In April, the administration moved to allow U.S. nationals to sue any company that does business in Cuba using private property seized during the Cuban revolution. The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, responded to the news by saying, “Cuba will not be frightened or distracted with new threats and restrictions. Work, creativity, efforts and resistance is our response. They haven’t been able to suffocate us. They won’t be able to stop us.”
