O US Treasury today announced the imposition of new sanctions against two people, five companies and two ships linked to the military and oil sectors under the Trump administration's campaign against Cuban authorities.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) thus included in its ‘black list’ two people of Cuban nationality, including Brigadier General Any Lastres Morera, who presides over the S.A. Business Administration Group (GAESA).
The other sanctioned by Washington is a man identified as Guillermo Faustino Rodríguez, linked to that Cuban military conglomerate.
This package of sanctions includes six companies, four of them Cuban. These are state companies. Tecnosime, dedicated to the extraction of natural gas and oil, Cubaelectronica and other two maritime transport: International Maritime and Petromarca.
To these are added the company based in Panama Tempacool and Chinese Beijing H and C Technologies CO, specialized in telecommunications.
On the other hand, Scott Bessent's package sanctioned two ships with Cuba flag: the ‘Emily’, which carries liquefied natural gas, and the ‘Gloria C’, a chemical tanker.
In addition, the State Department reported that these sanctions, as well as that applied to Caroil Transport Marine LTD, described as “a company based in Cyprus that manages Cuban flag oil tankers carrying energy products in Cuba”, and to the ships ‘Maria Cristina’, ‘Esperanza’ and ‘Lourdes’.
The goal, he said in a statement, is “to strengthen the full initiative of the Trump Administration to end the illicit activities of the Cuban regime, both in Cuba and throughout the hemisphere.”.
