The US State Department has enacted sanctions on senior Cuban officials, including President Miguel Diaz-Canel, in response to their brutality toward Cuban citizens. Visa restrictions will affect regime leaders such as Diaz-Canel and Defence Minister Alvaro Lopez Miera. In addition, the Torre K hotel was added to a restricted list to stop US dollars from funding the Cuban regime. This action comes four years after significant antigovernment protests, which faced severe police repression, leading to casualties and larger economic issues, while the regime promotes luxury investments amid widespread shortages.
