Cuba sanctions

Cuba sanctions are restrictions imposed mainly by the U.S. government aimed at pressuring Cuba’s government to change its policies. These include limitations on trade, travel, and financial transactions, intended to encourage democratic reforms and human rights improvements. Sanctions target specific individuals, entities, and sectors like tourism and commerce, but often also impact everyday Cubans by restricting their access to certain goods and services. These measures are part of a broader effort to influence Cuba’s political and economic system, though their effectiveness and humanitarian impact are widely debated.
