The United States announced new sanctions on Thursday on Cuba's president and some of his immediate family, alongside members of the Castro family, in Washington's latest ramping up of pressure on its communist-led neighbor. Among those targeted were the son and a grandson of former president
Raul Castro
, who no longer holds an official position but remains a key power-broker on the island.
President
Miguel Diaz-Canel
, his wife and stepson were also hit by the latest flurry of US sanctions, as was the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and several other entities.
While Cuba has been under a
US trade embargo
since 1962, President Donald Trump has drastically ramped up pressure in recent months, cutting off its fuel supplies and threatening to take over the island.
Washington claims that Cuba's communist regime threatens the security of Americans.
Trump has repeatedly stated it could be next to fall, after the January overthrow of Venezuela's socialist leader Nicolas Maduro and the US campaign against Iran.

US Imposes Sweeping Sanctions on Cuba's Top Leadership
The United States has imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, his wife Lis Cuesta Peraza, and several members of the Castro family in a major escalation of pressure on the island nation. The sanctions, announced on June 4, 2026, target five individuals and five entities, including Cuba's Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR). This marks the third round of sanctions against Cuba in less than a month under Executive Order 14404, signed by President Donald Trump on May 1, 2026.
The move freezes any U.S.-based assets belonging to the designated individuals and entities and prohibits Americans from doing business with them. The Trump administration has accused the Cuban regime of engaging in "subversive anti-American activities" and human rights abuses against its own people.
Who Is on the Sanctions List?
The sanctions target Cuba's highest-ranking officials and key figures linked to the Castro dynasty:
