US launches new sanctions on Cuba, targeting oil shipping networks.
Washington has escalated economic pressure on Cuba, even more than before, targeting oil shipments, Chinese suppliers and foreign trade.
On November 5, the Trump administration announced another round of sanctions against Cuba, targeting eight entities, two individuals and five vessels linked to the islands' maritime, energy and military supply chains.
The measures also expand Washington's authority to impose sanctions on foreign companies involved in Cuba's electronics, manufacturing, maritime and technology sectors. Two Chinese companies were among those sanctioned for allegedly exporting military equipment to Cuba. Beijing condemned the move and rejected US interference in its economic relations with Havana.
