Rubio escalates hardline policy toward Cuba, while Havana fails to honor prisoner release pledge
Briefly

Following Joe Biden's brief lifting of certain sanctions on Cuba, Donald Trump promptly reversed these measures on his first day in office. His administration, influenced largely by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, decided to put Cuba back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism and announced additional sanctions. These actions included reactivating Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, allowing legal actions against individuals and companies tied to assets confiscated since 1959. The measures are designed to limit economic resources for Cuba's military-controlled entities and reinforce a tough U.S. policy regarding the island.
