The U.S. government imposed new sanctions on Cuba on Thursday, aiming to further strangle the island nation's economy and exacerbate its multiple crises. The sanctioned entities include Fidel Ernesto Castro, the grandson of former President Raúl Castro, and Abapet (the Cuban Petroleum Industry Supply Import Company). Abapet is responsible for importing specialized equipment and spare parts necessary to maintain Cuba’s increasingly collapsing power grid. Analysts believe these sanctions are intended to disable key machinery in Cuba, worsening its energy crisis. The Trump administration appears to have taken no serious consideration toward accepting any changes from Cuba; its sole objective is regime change, and Rubio will not relent.
