The Trump administration reversed moves made by the Biden administration, returning Cuba to the list of state sponsors of terrorism, which limits its ability to do business around the world, and restoring the right of Americans to sue over property confiscated on the island decades ago.
Cuban officials have had their visas yanked and the administration has prohibited business transactions with companies controlled by Cuba’s military, intelligence and security services, which manage vital interests such as tourism and imports.
Republican administrations have tried to target Cuba’s medical missions before, but Mr. Trump is taking a harder line: In February, for the first time, the U.S. government said it would withdraw the travel visas of officials in countries that host the medical brigades.
