Trump Imposes New Ban on Cruise Ships and Organized Tours To Cuba
On Tuesday, President Trump announced new restrictions on US citizens traveling to Cuba. Currently, most people reach Cuba via a cruise ship or through organized tour groups, and both methods will soon be prohibited. According to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the new restrictions are the result of Cuba playing a “destabilizing role in the Western Hemisphere, providing a communist foothold in the region and propping up US adversaries in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua by fomenting instability, undermining the rule of law, and suppressing democratic processes.”
