US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced new sanctions Thursday on Cuba's military-industrial enterprise, its leader and a state-owned natural resources company.

Axar.az reports, citing US State Department's website, these sanctions are part of the Trump Administration’s comprehensive campaign to address the pressing national security threats posed by Cuba’s communist regime and hold accountable the regime and those who provide it material or financial support.

Rubio imposed the sanctions under Trump's May 1 executive order targeting "Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy."

"Just 90 miles from the American homeland, the Cuban regime has brought the island to ruin and auctioned off the island as a platform for foreign intelligence, military and terror operations. Additional designations can be expected in the following days and weeks," the statement said.

"Today’s sanctions demonstrate that the Trump Administration will not stand by while Cuba’s communist regime threatens our national security in our hemisphere. We will continue to take action until the regime takes all necessary political and economic reforms," Rubio posted on X.
