The Trump administration will begin enforcing new restrictions on travel and trade with Cuba, implementing changes the president outlined in June.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: The changes, which will take effect Thursday, reflect President Trump’s policy goal of taking a harder line on Cuba. Trump has not reversed all of former president Barack Obama’s Cuba policies, however, and the U.S. and Cuba will maintain diplomatic ties. The State Department continues to advise against traveling to Cuba, though the restrictions the administration put in place this week have been in the works for months and are unrelated to the State Department’s Sept. 29 travel warning.
