THE UNITED STATES HAS AGREED TO LIFT-ERA SANCTIONS AGAINST CUBA

  • 17/05/2022

US officials have announced measures to soften the harsh sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump on Cuba.

New measures adopted by the Biden administration will lift limits on family remittances and travel to the island.

The processing of US visas for Cubans will be accelerated as well.

According to State Department spokesperson Ned Price, the measure will allow Cuban citizens to live a life free of "government persecution."

The lifting of sanctions will result in the removal of a cap on family remittances, which are cash transferred by migrants in the United States to family members in Cuba. Previously, migrants could not transmit more than $1,000 (£811) every three months.

Non-family members can also make donations under the new policies.
