U.S. hits Cuba with new sanctions as island’s crises multiply
America has placed new sanctions on Cuba. The list includes Fidel Ernesto Castro, grandson of former President Raúl Castro, and Abapet, Cuba's oil industry supply import company. This company brings in equipment to keep Cuba's power grid running. Experts say the aim is to worsen Cuba's energy crisis. Cuba will likely try to bypass these restrictions, which may push costs up and add to inflation.
