US imposes fresh sanctions on Cuba

The US Department of the Treasury on Friday imposed sanctions on Cuba’s Interior Ministry and its leader, accusing them of human rights violations. The measures against the ministry and Brigadier Gen. Lázaro Alberto Álvarez Casas include freezing any bank accounts they may have in the US. The new sanctions come less than a week before the end of Trump’s presidency.
