After failing to overthrow the Cuban Revolution for six decades, the hawks in Washington, supported by wealthy Cuban-American mafiosi who profit from their dirty policy, have continued to intensify their genocidal hostility against a people who will not compromise on their principles of independence, autonomy, and self-determination.

These are the most recent spurious measures:
1. Reincorporation of Cuba to the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism (aggravates the effects of the blockade, especially in the financial sphere; increases country risk; and discourages European and Asian tourism).
2. Reactivation of Donald Trump's Presidential Memorandum No. 5 (2017) (which openly affirms objectives of regime change, restriction of tourism, support of subversion, and application of the blockade through the Helms-Burton Act).
3. Reestablishment of the list of restricted Cuban entities with which individuals and entities in the U.S. are prohibited from conducting any transactions (it also has extraterritorial scope).
4. Inclusion of the Cuban remittance company Orbit S.A. on the list of restricted Cuban entities, which prompted Western Union to suspend its operations in Cuba.
5. Reactivation of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, which permits the filing of lawsuits in U.S. courts against entities that invest in properties nationalized in Cuba following the Revolution. This includes properties that belonged to Cuban citizens who later became naturalized U.S. citizens.
6. Termination of the humanitarian parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans, as well as the CBP One application for entry through eight U.S. ports of entry.
7. Suspension of granting visas to Cubans for cultural, sports, academic, scientific, etc., exchanges.
8. Restricting entry visas to the U.S. for Cuban citizens, foreign citizens, and their family members linked to Cuba's international cooperation programs, particularly in the health sector but also in other areas.
9. Inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries that do not maintain effective anti-terrorist measures in their ports. This authorizes the U.S. Coast Guard to impose entry requirements for vessels coming from Cuban territory due to Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
10. Prohibition of entry to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) repository of controlled-access data and associated data from institutions in Cuba or other "countries of interest."
11. Suspension of migration talks until April 2025.
12. Suspension of payments and requirement for Cuban hosts on the Airbnb lodging platform to open accounts abroad.
13. A notification regime is imposed on the Cuban Embassy in Washington prior to any exchange with or visits to representatives of local and state governments, educational institutions, and research centers, including agricultural facilities and national laboratories.
14. The State Department has prohibited a prosecutor and three Havana provincial court judges, as well as their family members, from entering the United States for their alleged involvement in the prosecution of an individual participant in the July 11 trial.
15. Restricting visas for Central American government officials and their family members linked to Cuban medical cooperation programs.
16. Suspension of entry into the United States for Cuban immigrants and non-immigrants in the following visa categories: B-1 (business), B-2 (tourism), B-1/B-2 (tourism or business), F (student/academic), M (student/academic), and J (doctor/exchange visitor).
17. Additionally, Trump included Cuba, along with the governments of Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China — which he considers "foreign adversaries" — in the executive order limiting access to U.S. technology, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence.
