'These actions are directly linked to the tourism industry, which has strong economic ties to the Cuban security, military, and intelligence sectors in Cuba,' the State Department said.
The Trump administration announced new restrictions on Americans traveling to Cuba on Tuesday, including bans on organized tour groups and cruise ship stops.
"This Administration has made a strategic decision to reverse the loosening of sanctions and other restrictions on the Cuban regime," Treasury Secretary Steven Munchin said in the press release."These actions will help to keep U.S. dollars out of the hands of Cuban military, intelligence, and security services."
"These actions are directly linked to the tourism industry, which has strong economic ties to the Cuban security, military, and intelligence sectors in Cuba," its statement continued. According to the Treasury Department, there is a"grandfathering provision" for Americans who have already booked a trip to Cuba before June 5, 2019. But the provision only applies to people who"completed at least one travel-related transaction" like purchasing a flight or reserving a hotel or other accommodation.
