Washington (United States), 6 August (LaPresse) – The United States has announced new sanctions against five Cuban entities and eight individuals involved in procuring military equipment from abroad on behalf of the Cuban armed forces and security forces. “The Cuban communist regime,” said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement, “is a state sponsor of terrorism that uses its military and intelligence apparatus to spy on the United States, provide material support to violent extremists and terrorist groups, and spread the pernicious Marxist ideology within our borders and within our political system; whilst serving as an operational base for other adversaries of the United States – such as Russia, China and Iran – to carry out operations against our country.” The Trump administration, Mr Rubio asserts, “will continue to use all means at its disposal to address the threats that the Cuban communist regime poses to national security and to promote economic and political reforms aimed at ensuring a better future for the Cuban people”.
