Trump administration announces new steps to further restrict Americans' travel to Cuba, including banning group tours and cruise ship stops to the island nation.
The changes are meant to tighten the economic pressure on the Cuban government, which Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross called"one of our historically most aggressive adversaries." The goal is to"restrict non-family travel to Cuba in order to hold the Cuban regime accountable for its repression of the Cuban people and its support of the Maduro regime in Venezuela," his agency said in a statement.
For Americans who have already booked a flight or hotel or made another"travel-related transaction," they will be"grandfathered" in, according to the Treasury Department. Eleven other categories of travel are still permitted, including other cultural exchanges, like by university groups, along with travel to see family members or for humanitarian projects, religious activities, public performances, journalism, or official U.S. government business.
Effective Tuesday, private and corporate aircraft, cruise ships, private yachts, fishing boats, and other similar aircraft and vessels will also now be barred from traveling to Cuba, according to the Commerce Department. Exemptions will be made for vessels or aircraft that apply for and receive a license, which requires the application be related to medicine, telecommunications for the Cuban people, environmental protection, or aviation safety.
