United States agrees to ease Trump-era sanctions on Cuba.
Written by News Room on May 17, 2022
United States officials have announced plans to ease tough sanctions imposed on Cuba by former President Donald Trump.
Under new measures approved by the Biden administration, restrictions on family remittances and travel to the island will be eased.
The processing of US visas for Cubans will also be speeded up.
State Department spokesman, Ned Price said the move would allow Cuban citizens to pursue a life free from government oppression.
The loosening of sanctions will see a cap on family remittances, funds sent by migrants in the US to family members in Cuba, removed. Previously migrants were prevented from sending more than 1,000 dollars every three months.
