The old Castro regime and the Castro family are not finding the Donroe Doctrine to their liking, and that's for sure and for certain. Their primary oil source, Venezuela, is now in hands at least somewhat more friendly to the United States - and now the American State Department is hitting Cuba in the pocketbook again. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new round of sanctions on at least five Cuban enterprises and directly on one member of the Castro clan. Several of the sanctions hit the "Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA)," (in English, "Business Administration Group S.A."), which controls a substantial portion of Cuba's moribund economy.
Rubio designated five entities generating revenue for the current Cuban regime, including three associated with the previously designated Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), and one member of the extended Castro family.
"Today, I am designating five Cuban entities generating revenue for the Cuban regime, including three associated with the previously designated Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), and one member of the extended Castro family pursuant to President Trump's Executive Order (E.O.) 14404 of May 1, 2026, "Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy," Rubio said in a statement.
"GAESA continues to operate as the financial muscle behind the Cuban regime’s repressive security apparatus. Two of the entities designated today are GAESA-linked financial institutions associated with moving money on the regime’s behalf, and one is a GAESA-linked logistics company that executes the regime’s bidding across the island," Rubio continued.

We might note that the financial muscle behind the Cuban regime has grown pretty thin on the bone.
