President Donald Trump has directed his Cabinet to reevaluate and strengthen U.S. policies toward Cuba, focusing on intensifying sanctions within a 30-day timeframe. The review targets Cuba's treatment of dissidents and governmental financial gains.

The directive includes exploring strategies to halt all tourism and limit educational visits strictly to American-run groups. Trump's stance aligns with his promise to reverse policies enacted during the Obama administration.

The administration's strategy includes economic embargo advocacy and visa restrictions, while criticism arises from Cuban officials labeling the U.S. approach as undermining and counterproductive.
