Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
This Executive Order expands the existing national emergency against the Government of Cuba by imposing broad secondary sanctions and asset freezes on foreign persons operating in key sectors of the Cuban economy (energy, defense, metals/mining, financial services, security). It authorizes the Treasury and State Departments to block property and deny entry to individuals and entities involved in repression, corruption, or support for the Cuban government, and empowers Treasury to sanction foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for designated persons.
